Own A Piece Of Chicago History: Al Capone's 2-Flat Is For Sale

Own a piece of Chicago history. Live in Al Capone's old house.

CHICAGO, IL -- Move into one of the first homes purchased by Chicago’s most infamous mob boss Alphonse Capone. This classic 1905 Chicago brownstone two-flat built in the heart of Park Manor was purchased by Capone in 1923. Capone’s wife and mother were listed as the owners of the building. When the gangster’s brother Frank was gunned down by police, Frank’s funeral was held in the house. The two-flat sits on a wide 68-foot lot with a spacious layout in each unit. Vintage touches feature large octagon style living rooms, full basement, and a rare brick garage, with tons of wood trim, molding and a full basement. Walk to the Red Line or jump on the Skyway and Dan Ryan. Live in one unit and rent out the other, or rent out both. Who wouldn’t want to live in Al Capone’s old house. This is your chance to own a piece of Chicago history.
