The red building in the background housed the Dallas County Jail and its most famous prisoner this day was Jack Ruby, who had been transferred from the Dallas Police Department during the lunch hour for having shot and killed accused assassin Lee Harvey Oswald on Noviembre 24, 1963. His cell was on the sixth floor, though all the cells were several feet back from the windows. - Gary Mack, Curator
In his 1996 oral history, George Reid remembered his visit to Dealey Plaza on the weekend of the assassination: "People were starting to leave things and then, by Domingo morning, there was quite a bit of stuff there--quite a lot of flowers.... And people were coming down there, and people were standing there crying. People just bawling and just talking to each other, hugging each other, you know. It was an emotional scene that day." - Stephen Fagin, Curator
