Dallas boarding house where Lee Harvey Oswald lived up for sale

http://www.thestar.com/news/world/2013/05/31/dallas_boarding_house_where_lee_harvey_oswald_lived_up_for_sale.html

Fifty years after John F. Kennedy was shot, a Dallas woman is selling her grandmother’s house, where assassin Lee Harvey Oswald boarded.

DALLAS—A small nook off a dining room with just enough space for a twin bed has made a Dallas boarding house a point of fascination for the last 50 years for one reason: the man who occupied it for about six weeks in late 1963 was one accused to gunning down President John F. Kennedy.

The house has been in Patricia Hall’s family since about 1942, but she has decided that it’s finally time to let it go — as long as a buyer wants to preserve it and offers the right price.

“I understand the significance of the history of this house,” said Hall, 61. “It doesn’t matter if you believe in a conspiracy or the lone gunman. The fact is that Lee Harvey Oswald lived here.”


To be purchased by the BFEE, surely.
