Built in 1929, the gorgeous mansion has an illustrious history and an expansive menu. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places, and has a history that dates back to the mob...yeah. We're serious.
Al Capone supposedly funded the building of the stunning mansion. The whole of the place once had an underground tunnel leading from the basement and escape hatches that led to the roof!
Supposedly, Capone used the secrecy of the three-story spot to smuggle liquor during the '20s and '30s.
Legend has it that both Al Capone and John Dillinger would relax in the woods outside the house, drinking and playing cards.
The stunning restaurant is a treat to experience, and the history of the place gives a historic feeling to what would already be a fabulous meal.
We may never know the real story of High Point, but we can ponder over a delicious meal. Locals rave about the place, and you will too - it's an experience in every way.
What a beautiful place. Would you go?
