    The fact is that this is actually the Elkins Estate located in Elkins Park, PA. The estate originally contains seven buildings, and this one is the Elstowe Manor. The properties were built for William L. Elkins, a railroad tycoon, and his family, and designed by Horace Trumbauer . Elstowe Manor was sold in 1932 by Elkin's grandson to the Dominican Sisters of St. Catherine d'Ricci as a religious retreat. Thus, the dorm-like rooms of Gregory Hall, as noted by the key holder in this video. The retreat house was sold in 2006 due to economic challenges to the Land Conservancy of Elkins Park, PA. After years of defaulted payments to the Sisters and years of legal battles, the property was ultimately sold to Landmark Developers in August 2019. Al Capone has no relation to this manor and I believe people would find this more interesting with it's true history in your walk about.

    Yeah, this place has nothing to do with Capone. What it DOES have is one of the most beautiful, sensuous, staircases ever designed. Its undulating shape, the brilliant way it is lit by skylights and windows, and it's central location are all designed to make ascending / descending the stairs an experience. Brilliant. These places could never be duplicated today and the cost of maintaining them has become prohibitive. Wages were low back then and you could maintain an army of servants to upkeep these places. Additionally, most were NOT lived in full time and a few months at various times of the year were all they were occupied. Such extravagance is long gone.

      Right!I agree! If I had to guess, I would say it's owned by a Firm, Bank or a Historical Society and is being renovated to be used for public use like a hotel or offices. From the looks of it , It was probably used for office purposes in the past. Looking at some of the structures , clearly updates have been done in the past , notably some of the metal posts and railings leading down certain stairways that are for sure NOT from the 1800's and...I'm pretty sure they didn't have LED Exit signs and modern Fire Extinguishers in Capone's days! lol

    I worked with a woman who introduced me to her father and her family.her Dad was befriended to Capone as a young boy. They were poor and every Christmas Al played Santa Clause. He saw a different side of Al. In every house that Al lived in there were secret passageway to the garage and a hidden room like a vault for him to hide in. Before Al died he bought this family a small farm and a restaurant/cafe for them. I’m taking up for Al because he had people killed, but this family was shown a special friendship with Al. He left them money too.

      I'm sure there is a plan in place for it's use. Some of those framed rooms look pretty recent. I would be willing to bet that the process will take a while especially if it's going to be for public use. Bringing structures up to code and adhering to safety requirements can be costly AND time consuming. Sometimes renovations are done in spurts due to supply needs and/or available funding or both.

    Hey i just wanna say thanks not only for information but more importantly for being a rare soul that is still willing to call todays people and society out on thier bullshit. Im a old soul to say even though my age isnt nearly compared to it but i stand or morals and beliefs and one of those is calling others out on bullshit. I dont mind being the outcast or under the culture cutting block bc others opinions does not judge my final day. Its a shame to see so many people not understanding today that your actions always have repercussions good or bad and very sad to see how people rather ignore the lies then correct someone and instill thw truth. God bless the few old souls who still believes in morals and has purpose and reasoning in thier hearts. Your truly are a dieing breed and thank you all for what u could and did manage to instill into a few late arrivals in this world.
