These days when I hear “Machine Gun Kelly”, one of my favorite Memphis Roller Derby divas comes to mind. The original Machine Gun Kelly (George Kelly Barnes) was a famous bank robber during the prohibition era. He grew up in Memphis, attended Mississippi State for a while, picked up a machine gun, had a daring life of crime, and was captured in Memphis in 1933. The midtown house where he grew up is still around, as is the midtown house where he was captured. You can figure out which is which.
[Correction: Machine Kelly was a bootlegger and kidnapper - probably not a bank robber]
This is the last existing Lustron House in Memphis. The Lustrons were introduced after World War II, as affordable, low-maintenance housing. All structural elements of the home are porcelain steel: roof, exterior and exterior walls. It is cozy and quite interesting with pocket doors and a stainless kitchen.
The lot is fairly large and the yard is fenced.
Convenient to the Zoo, Snowden School, Rhodes College and Sam Cooper Blvd.
