OSWALD ROOMING HOUSE
The rooming house where Lee Harvey Oswald stayed in Dallas, Texas, is a significant location in American history. Located at 1026 North Beckley Avenue, this modest two-story structure was where Oswald lived from October 1963 until his arrest shortly after the assassination of President John F. Kennedy on November 22, 1963. The house has since become a site of interest for historians, researchers, and tourists intrigued by the events surrounding the assassination.
Patricia Hall was a resident of the rooming house during Oswald’s stay. She has shared her experiences and memories of living in close proximity to one of history’s most infamous figures. Hall’s recollections provide a unique perspective on Oswald as a person. She often describes him as quiet and reserved, noting that he kept to himself and did not engage much with other tenants.
Patricia Hall began offering private tours of the rooming house to share her experiences and insights about Oswald and that fateful day with visitors interested in understanding more about this pivotal moment in American history. During these tours, she provides context about life in Dallas during the early 1960s and discusses her personal memories related to Oswald.
Hall emphasizes that her goal is not only to recount historical facts but also to humanize Oswald by sharing anecdotes from her time living alongside him. She discusses how ordinary life continued around them while monumental events were unfolding elsewhere—an aspect often overlooked in broader narratives about the assassination.
Her tours have attracted attention from both casual tourists and serious historians alike who seek firsthand accounts from someone who lived through those tumultuous times. By sharing her story, Patricia Hall contributes to a deeper understanding of both Lee Harvey Oswald as an individual and the societal impact of his actions.
