Height 2.5 in, width 8 in, depth 3.25 in. The St. Valentine Day Massacre involved the murder of seven members and associates of George Bugs Moran gang, lined up against a brick wall and shot to death by assassins, allegedly affiliated with Al Capone gang.The building was ordered demolished by then major Richard J. Daley to thwart tourists and also in a failed attempt for the infamous history to be erased from the history books. Unbeknownst to him the wrecking companies realized the money to be made and carted away a small amount of these bricks for sale.Bricks from that wall, still bearing bullet holes, were later purchased and have been part of various exhibits, including those at The Mob Museum in Las Vegas.
