Site of historic Connor Hotel in Joplin went from public library to a planned Science Center
The Connor Hotel was a beaux-arts style building located at 324 Main Street in Joplin, Missouri (Jasper County). It was constructed between 1906 and 1908. This building will be remembered for its unforeseen collapse in 1978 killing two men, one day before it was scheduled to be demolished. It had been previously listed on the National Register of Historic Places on February 28, 1973.
