Step Back in Time: A Historic Stay at the Old Oxford Bank Welcome to the Old Oxford Bank, a charming piece of American history now transformed into a two-unit Airbnb. Nestled in the heart of Oxford, Indiana, this unique property was once the site of a daring and infamous robbery by none other than John Dillinger and his notorious gang of criminals.
In the early 1930s, during the height of the Great Depression, Dillinger and his gangâknown for their brazen heistsâtargeted small-town banks across the Midwest. On March 17, 1934, the Old Oxford Bank became the scene of one such robbery. Armed and dangerous, Dillinger and his crew stormed the bank, stealing a sizable sum of money while evading capture in the process. The audacious robbery would go down in local history as a symbol of Dillinger's crime spree and the fear and excitement that gripped the nation during his reign of terror.
This historic building, which still bears the marks of its storied past, offers an incredible opportunity to stay in a place that was once a backdrop to one of America's most infamous bank robberies. Whether youâre a history buff, a fan of true crime, or just looking for a memorable getaway, the Old Oxford Bank provides a one-of-a-kind experience that combines modern comforts with a touch of vintage charm.
Feel free to explore the original architecture, including the vault where Dillingerâs gang might have stashed their stolen loot, and imagine what it must have been like to be a part of that incredible moment in history.
This place was just about what I expected with a few shortcomings. Communication with the host and the check in process were flawless and check out expectations were clearly communicated. However there was an issue with a endlessly squeaky ceiling fan that we couldnât turn off, there were no paper towels in the kitchen and none of the little touches that I usually find so welcoming, like coffee for the coffee maker.
Proximity to Purdue University was good and that is what we were there for, but overall just an average stay.
