A one time Inn with a notorious gangster past and supposedly haunted near Masury Ohio

 I was doing some Electrical Inspection work in Masury Ohio when I came across an old white sided building I just knew had to have an interesting past and I was right 

Formerly known as the Green Parrot Inn it now  unused along Ohio 82   and 62  just over the Pa. State Line .

In the 1930,s this place was said to be a favorite hangout of John Dillinger  the famous bank robber and its said he would throw penny's to kids out his hotel room window and plenty of other story's many apparently made up like him dropping his gun on the inns bar floor and local sheriff picking it up and handing it back to him and not recognizing him. 

The Inn is also supposedly haunted and has been investigated by paranormal groups.

Now why would a gangster hide out here? well close to border he could freely flee police across the border plus the local steel mills etc made for lots of activity where a gangster could hide in anonymity

and commit crimes . These Road Houses as they became known where popular places in the day to dance and drink and have fun. and sadly many are now just memory's .
