DescriptionTexas Historical Commission Plaque on Former School Book Depository Building, Dallas, Aug 2019.jpg |
English: The photograph shows the Texas Historical Commission Plaque affixed to the Former School Book Depository Building in Dallas, Texas.
The full text on the plaque as photographed reads: Formerly The Texas School Book Depository Building This site was originally owned by John Neely Bryan, the founder of Dallas. During the 1880s French native Maxime Guillot operated a wagon shop here. In 1894 the land was purchased by Phil L. Mitchell, president and director of the Rock Island Plow Company of Illinois. An office building for the firm's Texas division, known as the Southern Rock Island Plow Company, was completed here four years later. In 1901 the five-story structure was destroyed by fire. That same year, under supervision of the company vice president and general manager F. B. Jones, work was completed on this structure. Built to resemble the earlier edifice, it features characteristics of the commercial Romanesque Revival style. In 1937 the Carraway Byrd Corporation purchased the property. Later, under the direction of D. H. Byrd, the building was leased to a variety of businesses, including the Texas School Book Depository. On November 22, 1963, the building gained national notoriety when Lee Harvey Oswald allegedly shot and killed President John F. Kennedy from a sixth floor window as the Presidential motorcade passed the site. Recorded Texas Historic Landmark - 1980. Note that the black background around the word 'allegedly' had been scratched away by persons unknown to add a highlight effect. |
