The mansion was built in 1929 and still contains the original hardwood flooring and authentic light fixtures, presumably financed by Al Capone. It was put on the National Register of Historic Places in December of 1997.
In the twenties and early thirties, the three-story compound still has escape hatches on the roof and underground tunnels in the basement. Capone used it for the transferring of liquor. It is widely believed that Capone and John Dillinger lounged outside on the mountain stone patio of the building while having drinks and playing numerous hands of cards.
High Point's talented chefs serve a menu of traditional gourmet dishes including Brie en Croute, Blackened Salmon Oscar and Black Thai Duck. These delectable creations, with charismatic and courteous service are what make this restaurant an incredible “getaway” on the mountain.
