It is the mansion next to Home Depot. I believe it's original name is Loch Aerie.

It has to be the mansion that is hemmed in by the Home Depot parking lot.

Tim:
The "old biker Bar" was across Lancaster Ave where the Hampton now stands.
This is the Old Lockwood Estate.

Tom L.: Wasn't it the scene of a shoot-out between local motorcycle gang members and police back in the 1970's? (Across the then-dinky old two-lane Lincoln Highway from the Glen Lincoln Tavern) Be kind; I am almost as old as your brother Joey! Our generation told us to not trust anyone over 30; they never said what we should do when we got over 60!!! As long as we've got our memories, we'll be ok! But it's nice to have youngsters like you to fall back on!

I so remember that biker thing at that house back in the 70's. Was young than, teenager. There were cops all over the place, we were driving up Rt 30 when that was going on, they had the road closed. That was a crazy time for bikers, very active.

That is the Lockwood Mansion. It had a beautiful stained glass window at the first landing on the stairs that I heard got broken during the shoot out.
