Dealey Plaza Changes To-Date

In recent years, I have heard a number of Dallas historians and JFK assassination researchers state that G. B. Dealey owned the land (or most of it) between the railroad tracks and Houston St., and Commerce and Elm Streets. I have even heard the rumor that the Dealeys only donated it under the condition that it remains public land forever, and that the Dealeys could take it back if it was not. All of the above is completely false! G. B. Dealey never owned the land in Dealey Plaza east of the railroad tracks. The land he did own were the 17 ½ acres WEST of the railroad tracks, which was reclaimed by the movement of the river. Even if he had owned the land east of the tracks, it is unreasonable to assume that any city would accept any land with the above limitation placed upon it! City governments would not set themselves up for this type of future litigation, and would have just condemned the land and taken it (for a “reasonable price”) if any such condition was stipulated.
