Phone booth a relic of Chicago mob days
Check out The Mob Museum’s newest artifact — a phone booth from the Four Deuces club in downtown Chicago, which served as headquarters of Johnny Torrio and later Al Capone’s Chicago Outfit crime syndicate. By 1931, the Four Deuces had been the site of 12 unsolved gangland murders. The booth, which resided in the home of Chicago television personality Bruce Newton for more than 30 years, is on display in the museum’s speakeasy, The Underground. Admission to that bar and exhibit is included with general museum admission and free anytime for patrons using the daily password found on Instagram stories @MobMuseum_Underground. 300 Stewart Ave., themobmuseum.org
