Image of Dealey Plaza and the Texas School Book Depository

In this photograph taken the day after the assassination, the left side of the southeast corner window is raised on the sixth floor of the Depository building. In another photograph in this series from the same day, the left side is closed though the right side has been opened. Investigators and news media accessed the sixth floor during the assassination weekend, and a number of photographs - as well as news film - were taken looking out onto Dealey Plaza from the southeast corner window. Isadore Bleckman of Fox Movietone News, for example, recalls visiting the sixth floor of the Depository on Saturday (the day this amateur photo was taken): "Yeah, we came up here, and they let me shoot through the window where he was, and they showed the cardboard boxes that were stacked around [where] he camouflaged himself.... I looked out that window and I thought to myself... yeah, I could hit something moving like that, but I wouldn't have the nerve or the stomach or the anything to do something." -- Stephen Fagin, Curator
