What a thing to sell or buy. I hope whomever buys it donates it to the Smithsonian.

If not a museum, where would you put it?

That is the only place I would put it.

I'm beginning to wonder if there's some fake bids sprinkled in there.

$20 says that GoldenPalace.com wins the bidding.

The assassination of John F. Kennedy changed history and this is perhaps the most famous window ever offered up for sale in the world

Could you name any other window that would be considered 'famous'?

An intact WTC window would gave a lot of value.

I'll bet it would.

Maybe windows out of structures that historical figures lived in, like George Washington or Abe Lincoln. Maybe like a window out of Appomattox Courthouse.

Wasn't trying to be funny, just having a hard time figuring what a famous window would be.

Winning bid was at $3,001,501.00!!!!!

That is mind boggling to me.

You could buy the whole building for less.

Does the building still exist? I have thought about going to Dealey Plaza while in Dallas but I have heard it's not a real good area.

Yes, it's still there, and Dealey Plaza is perfectly safe. The area to avoid is Oak Cliff, where Oswald's rooming house was located. The house where he took the backyard photos is a no-go area as well.

There is an area in OakCliff where I want to buy a house, but I keep talking myself out of it...because it's OakCliff.

The bonus is that OakCliff has great potential for regentrification. The downside is that there is no guarantee that is going to happen.

But man there are some NICE Craftsman and tudors there.

Ive been to the Sixth Floor museum in the book depository and have seen the window. It used to sit right in front of the currently installed window in that position, encased in glass just like the display.

It's sad that it's being sold out from under the museum. After all this time, I wonder what would prompt the owner to sell the window?

I lived in OC for a time and I really liked it. The area has gone severely down, but it could regen.

It's a shame as it is without a doubt the prettiest part of Dallas and the only area with a lot of trees...

The historical area is still nice and always will be - and you are right - it is the only non-urban area of dallas that is really pretty, the rest all being the damned suburbs.

The thing it, that area will always be like West Berlin surrounded by the Reds - it isn't worth living in that small area that is really nice if you have to go through the bad part to get there, and sleep surrounded by it.
