Excellent 5 star dining

Contained in a 1929 mansion, presumably financed by Al Capone, the three-story compound is complete with escape hatches on the roof and underground tunnels in the basement used by Capone for the transferring of liquor in the twenties and early thirties. It is rumored the floors were complete with a lining of sand beneath each one, suspected to prevent the penetration of a bullet. Local legend reveals tales of Capone and John Dillenger lounging outside on the mountain stone patio having drinks and playing numerous hands of cards.
