Prohibition dealt a serious blow to the brewery company in the 1930\u2019s. Perhaps Al was just trying to help out an acquaintance after some rough times. More likely, he just wanted to own a piece of paradise! Of course, Anheuser-Busch bounced back quite well, and up until 2009, they were the sole owners of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.seaworld.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SeaWorld<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.seaworldparks.com\/en\/buschgardens-tampa\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Busch Gardens<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-5872\" src=\"https:\/\/alcapones.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/large-waterfront-lot-capone-home.jpg\" alt=\"Photo of Capone's mansion on a large lot\" width=\"187\" height=\"138\" srcset=\"https:\/\/alcapones.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/large-waterfront-lot-capone-home.jpg 634w, https:\/\/alcapones.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/large-waterfront-lot-capone-home-300x221.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 187px) 100vw, 187px\" \/>The property was quite large and spanned the waterfront of <strong>Biscayne Bay<\/strong> the <strong>size of a football field<\/strong>. With the Bay practically at his back door, Al could toss out a line and relax while enjoying the sport of fishing. First, however, he needed to make some improvements including a 30-by-60-foot swimming pool, a two-story cabana pool house for his guards, the addition of another guesthouse, a gated guard house in the front of the mansion, all secured within a tall masonry wall. Capone had everything and the privacy he so desired.<\/p>\n<p><strong><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-5873\" src=\"https:\/\/alcapones.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/capone-pool-day.jpg\" alt=\"Photo of Capone pool in Florida\" width=\"187\" height=\"125\" srcset=\"https:\/\/alcapones.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/capone-pool-day.jpg 632w, https:\/\/alcapones.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/capone-pool-day-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 187px) 100vw, 187px\" \/><\/strong>Rumor had it that this house was where Capone planned the <strong>Saint Valentine\u2019s Day massacre<\/strong> in 1929. However, further investigation by the FBI concluded that the plot was most likely made in October or November of 1928 in Wisconsin where Capone and several crime bosses spent weeks hunting, fishing, and planning the murder of their enemies. This home, however, was the location of his alibi, since he was here in Florida when the famous incident took place and seven mobsters in Chicago were killed. Capone made sure that many people saw him enjoying the Florida sunshine in South Beach that day. While the FBI knew he was one of the masterminds and mostly responsible for the crime, they were unable to prove it. It would be tax evasion that put the famous mobster away behind bars for nearly a decade.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a class=\"button\" href=\"https:\/\/alcapones-shop.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Purchase Capone&#8217;s Dinner Show Tickets!<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-5876\" src=\"https:\/\/alcapones.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/gatehouse-for-guards.jpg\" alt=\"Photo of the gatehouse for Capone's guards\" width=\"187\" height=\"123\" srcset=\"https:\/\/alcapones.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/gatehouse-for-guards.jpg 634w, https:\/\/alcapones.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/gatehouse-for-guards-300x197.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 187px) 100vw, 187px\" \/>Al held onto the Florida home and returned there after being released from <strong>Alcatraz<\/strong> in 1939. These were not happy years for the notorious boss, despite the home\u2019s beautiful surroundings. Capone suffered from syphilis and the disease had degraded his mind to that of a paranoid child. It was said that he slept in the front room of the home so that he could watch who was coming and going. Al Capone died in an <strong>upstairs bedroom<\/strong> in 1947.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-5878\" src=\"https:\/\/alcapones.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/art-deco-powder-room.jpg\" alt=\"photo of Capone's art deco powder room\" width=\"128\" height=\"160\" srcset=\"https:\/\/alcapones.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/art-deco-powder-room.jpg 634w, https:\/\/alcapones.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/art-deco-powder-room-240x300.jpg 240w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 128px) 100vw, 128px\" \/>The home only had a few owners since Capone&#8217;s death. The concern (which proved true) was that future owners would tear down the home and guesthouses to make use of the massive waterfront property, destroying a piece of Americana. <strong><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-5880\" src=\"https:\/\/alcapones.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/capones-bedroom.jpg\" alt=\"Photo of Al Capone's bedroom\" width=\"181\" height=\"118\" srcset=\"https:\/\/alcapones.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/capones-bedroom.jpg 634w, https:\/\/alcapones.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/capones-bedroom-300x195.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 181px) 100vw, 181px\" \/><\/strong>In 2015 the owner, <strong>Peter Corsell,<\/strong> restored and updated the mansion to its original gangster grandeur including a powder room in Art Deco style. Although it was completely renovated, the home still maintained a tropical Havana style. <strong>It sold for $7.43 million<\/strong> after being listed originally at $9.95 million (Corsell bought it for $5.56 million). It changed hands for the last time in 2021 for 15.5 million. The new owners, Albert and Karise Claramonte had it <strong>torn down in August 2023<\/strong>, despite residents petitioning for it to be saved. Preservationists describe the leveling as having the century-old mansion &#8216;whacked&#8217;.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_11139\" style=\"width: 410px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/images.app.goo.gl\/aefJuqboT2VQ32oh6\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11139\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11139\" src=\"https:\/\/alcapones.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/capone-mansion-demolished-400x225.jpeg\" alt=\"Waterfront lot where Capone Mansion stood.\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-11139\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo courtesy of the Miami Herald.<\/p><\/div>\n<p><strong>Al loved Florida,<\/strong> and it served him well.
