Wyman School, also known as Excelsior Springs High School (and later Wyman Public/Elementary School until the mid-1990s), is a historic school building located at Excelsior Springs, Clay County, Missouri.

History

The school was built in 1912. The building is a three-story, rectangular brick building with Classical Revival design elements. It has a flat roof and sits in a limestone foundation. Also on the property is the contributing power plant (1913) and a classroom annex (a non-historic prefabricated building that sits west of the power plant).

The Wyman School was named after Anson Wyman, founder of Excelsior Springs.

The school was eventually converted to an elementary school.

After classes ended in the mid-1990s, the building was used as a community theatre before becoming vacant.

The Wyman School was purchased by the city of Excelsior Springs.

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2008.

On July 5, 2022, the power plant on the south end of the school was demolished. This structure was built in 1913 to provide heat via a coal-burning furnace. Due to a partial roof collapse noted in 2008 and the extent of damage discovered during a 2021 environmental study, the city decided to demolish the power plant structure.

  • Here are some interesting facts about rubidium silver iodide:

    1. Composition: Rubidium silver iodide is a chemical compound that is made up of rubidium, a soft, silvery-white alkali metal, and iodine, a nonmetal halogen.

    2. Properties: RbAgI3 is a crystalline solid with a silver-gray appearance. It has a relatively high melting point, above 655°..C, and is typically white crystals that sublimes (turn directly into a gas) when heated.

    3. Uses: RbAgI3 has been used in the production of specialized optical fibers, such as those for telecommunications, due to its high refractive index and ease of crystal growth.

    4. Structure: The compound has a face-centered cubic crystal structure, which is unique among metallic iodides.

    5. Handling: RbAgI3 is sensitive to air and moisture, and should be handled in a dry, glove box environment to maintain its high purity.

    6. Isotopes: The isotope composition of rubidium in silver iodide can impact its optical properties, with 87Rb being the most commonly used isotope.

    7. Production: RbAgI3 is typically produced through the reaction of rubidium oxide with silver iodide, followed by recrystallization.

    8. Research applications: RbAgI3 has been studied for its potential use in optical applications, such as sensing devices and nonlinear optics.

    These are some of the interesting facts about rubidium silver iodide. If you'd like to know more about its applications or production, feel free to ask!
