The building itself consists of a refurbished bar and two cement/brick silos. It was in these silos that Capone had his hideaway -- from hidden (now not so hidden) windows he and his crew had an unobstructed view of the neighboring countryside and could see any approaching lawman well before the were within striking range. The silos are now used as the village's offices and tours may be arranged. [J. Stoutenburg, 02/02/2000]
