When I was a child growing up in Old Englewood in the 1980s, the Rinkard Guest House was known to the neighborhood kids as a haunted house. The old historic building on the corner of Dearborn and Old Englewood Road was built in 1896. Originally a boarding school for children, then later purchased by Andrew Jergens of the soap and lotion fame, it was converted into a guest house for visitors. It is now privately owned.
