Wyman School is a two-story brick building designed by William B. Ittner in the Gate District neighborhood. The structure follows Ittner's characteristic approach to school architecture, featuring symmetrical massing and large windows designed to maximize natural light in classrooms. The facade is composed of red brick with decorative brickwork details typical of Ittner's scholastic designs. The building's form reflects the open-plan principles Ittner championed, emphasizing ventilation and efficient classroom arrangement. Window groupings are regularly spaced across the elevation, creating a rhythmic pattern that defines the building's street presence.
Wyman School was constructed in the Gate District neighborhood as part of the extensive school-building program undertaken by the St. Louis Board of Education in the early twentieth century. William B. Ittner designed the building, contributing another school to his prolific output for the district during this period. The school was named in honor of a figure significant to St. Louis educational or civic life, though the specific honoree requires further documentation. Throughout its operational years, Wyman School served the children of the surrounding Gate District area. The building remains standing at 1547 South Theresa Avenue.
