Curatorial Note:

This image, taken from near the north curb along Tenth Street in Oak Cliff, shows the south side and the area surrounding Officer Tippit’s squad car. Over the years, virtually all the houses on both sides of Tenth have been torn down and new homes built in their place. On November 20, 2012, the Texas Historical Commission unveiled a State Historical Marker just behind the north curb to designate the historical significance of the site. – Gary Mack, Curator
