Capone home for sale

Capone%20Tribune%20archive%20photo.jpg

It may look like any other brick two-flat in Chicago's south side Park Manor neighborhood, but this modest brick home houses some history behind the front door. The Capone family bought it in 1923 for $5,500...considerably less than the $450,000 that it's listed at today.

The bootlegging son visited his mother frequently at the home, where she remained until her death in 1952. In a city where new construction is happening on every corner, this place has a bit of sinister charm. Interested buyers can contact the listing agent by clicking here.
