Aerial View of the Mounds Club
This 1947 aerial view of the Mounds Club was taken shortly after the September 29, 1947 robbery by masked commandos carrying submachine guns. Police said the attack was carried out like a military operation. The robbers stole approximately one-half million dollars in cash and jewelry from the Club and the 300 patrons who were present at the time of the robbery.
