Texas School Book Depository, Historic book warehouse in West End District, Dallas, United States
The eight-story brick building incorporates Romanesque Revival architecture with large windows, high ceilings, and detailed stone ornamentation throughout its exterior structure.
The Texas School Book Depository gained national attention on November 22, 1963, when Lee Harvey Oswald fired shots from a sixth-floor window at President Kennedy.
The building now functions as the Sixth Floor Museum, containing over 40,000 artifacts related to President Kennedy's life, presidency, and assassination.
Visitors can access the museum daily from 10 AM to 5 PM, with guided audio tours available in seven languages at the entrance desk.
The sixth floor remains preserved exactly as investigators discovered it in 1963, including the corner window where rifle shells were found.
