Elsie Dorman was on the 4th floor of the Book Depository. So, how would a view of Houston Street have looked to her?

I don't have a view of Houston Street from the 4th floor, but I do have a view from the 7th floor.



You notice that we see the pedestal and we see the wall of the pool continuing down from the pedestal in a straight line. The pedestal and the wall are continuous.


So, when you're shooting from above, it gives you a bird's eye view, and if the Glovers were on the pedestal, we'd see the wall extending down from them in a straight line.



It's obvious that the Glovers were standing on the grass just a little back from the sidewalk. They were not on the wall. The wall is parallel with the edge of the sidewalk. There is no wall extending southward from them. There is grass extending southward from them. And if you try to tell me that the wall is underneath them but we can't see it, I will tell you that we'd see it extending beyond them southward. That's because it's parallel with the edge of the sidewalk, which we can see.
