I found an article by Emily Trube titled "City’s demolition Of Oswald apartment building is underway" interesting.

Trobe writes in part:
The city of Dallas has begun the demolition of an apartment building in the Bishop Arts District that Lee Harvey Oswald used to call home. A crew is removing drywall and the roof this week. Bulldozers are expected to tear the 1920's era building down on January 14th. 
Oswald and his wife Marina moved into a ground floor apartment at 600 Elsbeth Avenue in November 1962 and lived there for a little over a year. Oswald would move two more times before the assassination of President John F. Kennedy in November 1963. 
The building has no historical designation and had been largely forgotten until last year's publication of Stephen King's novel "11/22/63", in which he writes about 600 Elsbeth. It is also referenced in the Warren Commission's report.

I wonder if the screen adaptation will attempt to use any historical locations.
