Al Capone's home for sale

Capone It can be yours for just $450,000. The current owner, a retired special education teacher, knew and cared little about the home's history when she bought it for $29,500 in 1963. Snip:

The home features a large basement with a crumbling wine cellar that, on the day Hogsette moved in, contained one of the few relics from the Capone days: a long table and two old phones believed to have been part of the gangster's bookmaking operation.
