Does any know who took this photo. I assume it was from 22/11/63 and not 24/11/63 otherwise we should see the television cables strung up above the street.

The photo was definitely taken from very near where Jay Skaggs appears in various photos. Where'd you get it?

The window in the first arch next to the "Oswald" window is open, as I believe happened after the cops discovered the "nest." Otherwise, the fifth and sixth floors appear to have the same windows open and closed as in Hughes.

The people's attention is drawn to the TSBD area, or a bit east west to it. They are lined up at Houston. Would they still be standing like that when the action was going down at the TSBD ?!
Maybe it was snapped by James Powell.
The negro with the large bag and hat, who wears some kind of service uniform looks familar.
Interesting photo !

Whenever I see this photo, I look closely for a car parked the wrong way on Houston next to the TSBD. Can remember who it was that said they saw it there like that and thought that it was suspicious... --Tommy

"While surveying the area, I glanced away to the side of the Depository Building and found something I could not understand. At that time there was a side entrance towards the rear of the building on Houston Street. At some point during the morning hours, the police had sealed off parking in that block and forced all cars to move. Saw horses were placed at Elm and Houston to block traffic. As I looked around I saw a lone car parked beside the Book Depository with a white male seated behind the wheel. The car was an Oldsmobile, a 1955–57 model. It is difficult to tell the exact year unless one is an expert because all those years looked nearly alike. I remember wondering why all the other cars had been made to move and this one had not.
I didn’t have the chance to study the driver carefully but he was wearing civilian clothes and appeared to be middle aged.
One thing that interested me about the car was the way it was parked. The left front wheel was pulled sharply away from the curb and the driver had the door partially open. Later I wondered if the reason for this was so the car could make a quick U-turn in a speedy departure. As I was watching the man in the car I saw a policeman who was on foot walk over towards the car and begin talking to the man in a friendly, laughing manner. So far as I could see, there was no attempt made to get the man to move his car and after chatting for a minute or so, the policeman walked back to his post. It was this fact that made me think the police should have made some report about the presence of the car, but I have never seen any other account of this “mystery car.”Richard Carr may have seen the same car leave. From his Shaw trial testimony: A: At this point right here, at this School Book Depository there was a Rambler Station Wagon there with a rack on the back, built on the top of this.
Q: Which way was the station wagon facing?
A: It was parked on the wrong side of the street, next to the School Book Depository heading north.
Q: North being the top of the photomap, north is the top as you have indicated?
A: North is the top, and it was headed in this direction towards the railroad tracks, and immediately after the shooting there was three men that emerged from behind the School Book Depository, there was a Latin, I can't say whether he was Spanish, Cuban, but he was real dark-complected, stepped out and opened the door, there was two men entered that station wagon, and the Latin drove it north on Houston. The car was in motion before the rear door was closed, and this one man got in the front, and then he slid in from the -- from the driver's side over, and the Latin got back and they proceeded north and it was moving before the rear door was closed.I'd trust Carr's testimony over Brennan's. We KNOW Brennan changed his story re: a positive ID of Oswald in the window.

Could be this guy from Hughes. Can't tell if he's carrying a bag in the parking lot.
