History in River North
The old North Side Gang’s headquarters were above Schofield’s, Dean O'Banion's flower shop at 738 N State St, across from Holy Name Cathedral, a visible landmark from many River North apartments today. After O'Banion suckered John Torrio into buying his half-interest in a brewery for $500,000 shortly before the feds raided it, Torrio’s South Side Gang exacted revenge. They sent (though it's never been proven) Mike Genna, John Scalise, and Alberto Anselmi to the flower shop and killed O’Banion while he was cutting chrysanthemums on November 10th, 1924. His killing sparked the brutal gang war culminated in the St. Valentine’s Day Massacre.
