For decades, a small building along Singleton Boulevard offered a physical connection to one of Dallas’ most infamous stories.
It became closely associated with Barrow and Bonnie Parker, the Dallas-area couple whose violent crime spree made them infamous during the Great Depression.
But the building that was once located at 1221 Singleton Blvd., is no longer there.
An anonymous reader asked Curious Texas: What happened to the Bonnie & Clyde house?
The former Barrow family home and Star Service Station was demolished in April 2022 after an effort to protect it as a Dallas historic landmark stalled.
Not exactly.
Clyde’s father, Henry Barrow, moved the family’s small house from Muncie Avenue to what is now Singleton Boulevard in the early 1930s and turned the property into the Star Service Station. Clyde lived in the original house before it was moved, but he did not live at the later Singleton Boulevard location, according to Advocate magazine.
His parents operated the filling station while Bonnie and Clyde were on their roughly two-year crime spree, and Clyde and other members of the Barrow gang were known to visit the property. Bonnie Parker did not live there.
Still, it became one of Dallas’ best-known sites connected to the pair.
In March 2020, the Dallas Landmark Commission started the process of considering it for historic designation, temporarily preventing its demolition, The Dallas Morning News reported.
But the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted city operations, and the designation process stalled. A two-year demolition moratorium expired in March 2022 before the property received landmark status.
About six weeks later, the building was torn down.
The demolition surprised preservation advocates who believed efforts to protect the property were still moving forward.
The property later became part of a larger site purchased by Frank Nuchereno, owner of Hello! Deluxe Car Wash, which is now where the building used to be.
The original Barrow building may be gone, but its connection to one of Dallas’ most infamous chapters remains part of West Dallas history.
