The Scott Joplin State Historic Site in St Louis, Missouri, has been left extensively damaged after a break in by a local criminal, who was arrested soon after.

Joplin, known as the King of Ragtime, lived on  2658 Delmar Boulevard from 1901 to 1903.

He was the first African-American composer to win respect and recognition from a white music industry.
