Joplin rejects plan for infamous apartment

Published: Wednesday, October 14, 2009 8:49 AM CDT

JOPLIN, Mo. (AP) -- The Joplin City Council has rejected a request to turn the scene of a deadly shooting involving Bonnie and Clyde into a bed and breakfast apartment.

The Rev. Phillip McClendon was seeking a special-use permit to turn the garage apartment in Joplin into a bed and breakfast.

The Joplin Globe reports that after neighbors of the apartment objected at a meeting Monday night, the council rejected the request.

On April 13, 1933, two law enforcement officrs died during a shootout with the infamous criminal couple and other members of the Barrow gang.

They had holed up in the apartment for 12 days before shooting their way out and escaping.

The apartment was recently designated a state and national historic site and placed on the National Register of Historic Places.
