bed and breakfast. Oswald stayed in the 5-by-14 room

The boarding house where Lee Harvey Oswald was staying at the time he assassinated President John F. Kennedy is now open to the public - and remains virtually untouched since that fateful day.

His snug single bedroom at 1026 North Beckley in Dallas, Texas appears exactly as it did when he used an assumed name and stayed as a guest in November 1963 - bar a change of sheets.

The home's owner, whose grandmother ran the boarding house 50 years ago, is now showing off the modest property for tours and eventually  will be used as a bed and breakfast.

Oswald stayed in the 5-by-14 room for three weeks while working a new job at the Texas School Book Depository and he paid $8 each week for his room, the living room and refrigerator privileges.
