With the 90th anniversary of the infamous mafia called the Valentine's Massacre, the mob boss's red brick house in the far south of Windy City is on the market for $ 109,000. The most recent owner lost it as a result of a foreclosure in 2018, said a real estate agent at the station.
Capone, known as "Scarface", moved into the small house in 1923. He led a massive smuggling, gambling and prostitution operation during Prohibition.
He was suspected of being responsible for the 1929 massacre, known as the "Valentine's Day Massacre". Seven gangsters were shot by a firing squad on a winter morning in Chicago.
Capone was finally sentenced for tax evasion in 1931. He made a stretch to Alcatraz and died in 1947.
In 2014, the asking price for the house was $ 225,000. The price in 2009 was double, starting at $ 450,000.
The records show that Capone bought the $ 5,000 house and lived there with his wife, mother and sister. Among the gangster houses was also a mansion in Miami Beach, which sold for $ 15 million in 2018, according to the Miami Herald.
