The facility, which desegregated in 1959, was active at the time of the Kennedy assassination in 1963, having by that time expanded to multiple buildings, including a new 484-bed medical center that admitted its first patients months before President Kennedy's visit to Dallas. By the time it was used for filming scenes in Oliver Stone's JFK in 1991, St. Paul was nearing the end of its long life. Less than a decade later, its physical assets were purchased by UT Southwestern Medical School. St. Paul Media Center was demolished in November 2015. - Stephen Fagin, Curator
