A piece of Dallas history will come crumbling down Monday.

The city plans to demolish an apartment building Lee Harvey Oswald lived in before he assassinated President John F. Kennedy in 1963.
The crumbling building, located at 600 Elsbeth, hasn’t been occupied for several years. The woman who owns the building bought it with hopes of restoring the complex, but the city of Dallas condemned the building back in 2011.

On Sunday evening, several people, including the building owner, local artists and nearby residents showed up to take wood or brick from the building.
