Once owned by a Depression-era mechanic who serviced cars for Al Capone from a shop in nearby Benld, the Dorchester Depot is a 1931 railcar that has been reimagined as a guest house in Dorchester, IL. The cozy rental offers two queen-sized beds, a full kitchen with a gas stove, a washer and dryer, full basement, and a unique grain bin gazebo with a fire pit for a night under the stars. Quiet and comfortable, the Depot's interior is finished with warm floor to ceiling wood, large windows, and homey touches that can't be found in a chain hotel. The garage on the property can also be rented for parties, showers, or gatherings of up to 40 guests. Book your stay and explore Route 66 and nearby towns including Litchfield, Staunton, and Mount Olive. The Dorchester Depot is approximately 45 minutes from downtown St. Louis and the historic City of Alton, and only 30 minutes from the City of Edwardsville.
