About the Texas School Book Depository
The Texas School Book Depository is a seven-story building that faces Dealey Plaza in downtown Dallas, Texas. Its address is 411 Elm Street, where Elm meets North Houston Street on the northwest corner in downtown Dallas. Lee Harvey Oswald was employed there when he assassinated President Kennedy on November 22, 1963.
A wagon shop stood on the property in the 1880s. In 1894 the land passed to the Rock Island Plow Company, which four years later put up a five-story block for the Southern Rock Island Plow Company, its Texas division. Lightning set it alight in 1901, nearly destroying it. The 1902 reconstruction used the Commercial Romanesque Revival style and took the building to seven stories.
In 1963 the Texas School Book Depository Company ran a textbook warehouse across several floors of the building. Official inquiries found that Oswald fired from a window at the southeast corner of the sixth floor. Dallas County purchased the property in 1977 and turned the bottom five floors into government offices. The sixth floor became a museum in 1989.
