Antique, Historic, Doorknobs, Lee Harvey Oswald Apt. Building, UNIT #2 side:
$255.00

This is Door Knob #5 listed at $255 because it has the two door knobs and the entire working mechanism and it has a sturdy outdoor lock and door knob, and a more decorative lock plate and door knob for the inside. It is believed to be to the outside door in front of the stairs directly across from the back kitchen door to unit #2. This is the door where Lee Harvey came into the building most frequently. This door had access to the two lower apartments and stairwell to the two upper apartments. The kitchen area was an important planning and meeting area for Lee Harvey Oswald. The kitchen had 3 doors, one to the bathroom, one to the dining room/library and 1 to the back door which opened into the hall doorway to the outside door!. (Door Knob #3 was the first door knob to sell. It had 1 door knob and then the one sided locking mechanism. It was $135.00, which included shipping. Door Knob 1 just sold for $235) All the other door knobs have more mechanisms and are listed by numbers 2,4,6, details will be provided upon posting. The apartments were very efficient, you could open up the doors and connect the dining room (which Lee called his library) into the front living room/bedroom. You would never know the front living room was also a bedroom because it had a Murphy Bed - Such an efficient layout! ALOT of DOOR Knobs!This is the building where Lee Harvey Oswald ordered the gun that killed Officer Tippit after the tragic assassination of President Kennedy. All of these door knobs are from historic Unit #2 or the Unit #2 side of the building. 600 Elsbeth (formerly 602-604 Elsbeth) is in the Warren Commission. Mr. and Mrs. Tobias were the Building Managers in 1963, and the Warren Commission interviewed them extensively. Mr. Tobias drew a picture of the building for the Warren Commission. A copy of this map of the building will be included with your doorknob purchase and a letter of authentication from the owner of the property Jane Bryant, me! Thanks for helping preserve history!
The story of Jane Bryant, the property owner, trying to preserve the historical building from the unnecessary demolition by the City of Dallas was in news outlets all over the world from 2007 to 2013 heavily and most recently a story in Dallas based "Candy's Dirt" by April Towery was published October 9, 2023 revisiting the challenges that Jane Bryant faced trying to save 600 Elsbeth.
