Le Doux is quite correct. A "vestibule" is a small room at the entrance of a building to protect the innards from the weather, (note the same as described for your camping tent, Brian.)
A small room leading to a larger room (as on the second floor of the TSBD) is an "ante room".

Just for you, Brian, (sorry, Dougal.)

It shows, Mr Mitcham, the utterly pitiable state of Anti-Prayer-Man research that the Anybody-But-Oswald zealots' case rests on
---------------murdering normal dictionary definitions of words!
---------------arguing that Prayer Man is a white-haired woman!
---------------arguing that left is right!
---------------interpreting 'Then went outside to watch P. parade' as meaning something other than 'Then went outside to watch Presidential parade'!

These people recall the glory days of Mr Cinque!  :D

If you don't understand basic photography concepts, then it really doesn't matter what photo you are "interpreting".

and you still haven't answer the correct point that Calvery has her knees bent and Hicks has her legs straight..In Zapruder it is the opposite and Hicks has hers bent and Calvery has hers straight...

 BS:

You can't even see Calvery's knees in the office photo.  Not can you see "tall woman"'s knees in Zapruder.  You're just making stuff up again to try to prop up a failing argument.

Please supply the link to a dictionary which says an ante room is attached to the main entrance. Or STFU.
Dictionary description of "ante room".
Cambridge Dictionary.
anteroom
noun [ C ] UK ​  /ˈ?n.ti.ruːm/ /ˈ?n.ti.rʊm/ US ​  /ˈ?n.t̬i.ruːm/ /ˈ?n.t̬i.rʊm/ also antechamber formal

a small room, especially a waiting room, that leads into a larger, more important room:

Websters Dictionary

anteroom noun
an?​te?​room | \ ˈan-ti-ˌr?m  , -ˌru̇m\
Definition of anteroom
: a small outer room that leads to another room and that is often used as a waiting room


Note NOT a vestibule

You made the claim. Back it up. Show the links. if you can, otherwise as i said above. STFU.

Ray,

What leads you to believe that the person who used the word "vestibule" knew the dictionary definition of that word?

What leads  you to believe he didn't?

Ray,

That's your answer?

PS  FWIW, back in 1966, only 2% of the millions of other high school juniors who wanted to go to college and who took the same test I did did better than I on the "Verbal Intelligence" part of the Scholastic Aptitude Test.

Point being: I'm pretty good with words.

When I first heard the word "vestibule" in the context of Oswald's alleged whereabouts about one minute after the assassination, I automatically assumed it referred to the smallish, oddly-shaped, enclosed "transit space" adjoining the second floor lunchroom.

But I was wrong, I guess, huh?

Regardless, I admit to being thrown for a bit of a loop by Holmes' testimony:

Mr. Belin: By the way, where did this policeman stop him [Oswald] when he was coming down the stairs at the Book Depository on the day of the shooting?
Mr. Holmes: He said it was in the vestibule.
Mr. Belin: He said he was in the vestibule?
Mr. Holmes: Or approaching the door to the vestibule. He was just coming, apparently, and I have never been in there myself. Apparently there is two sets of doors, and he had come out to this front part.
Mr. Belin: Did he state it was on what floor?
Mr. Holmes: First Floor. The front entrance to the first floor.
.......

Was Oswald really at "the front entrance to the 'vestibule' on the first floor"?

If that was the case, then why not keep it simple and say he was in the lobby near the front entrance?

Are we to understand that before the assassination, Postal Inspector Holmes had never been inside the TSBD?

Indeed but he said "vestibule", so we must assume he knew what the word meant.

Your guess is a good as anybody else.
