The episode’s final pan (shown in Panels 15 and 16) encompasses a bit of history, It begins at a window of the Municipal Building, the building whose basement was the site of Oswald's killing by Jack Ruby (Ruby entered through a side of the building not seen in the pan).
Then-and-now superimposition, showing turn from Harwood onto Main.
The pan continues, bringing into view the White Plaza Hotel, opened in 1925 as the Hilton Hotel, it was the first hotel built from scratch by Conrad Hilton and the first to bear the Hilton chain name. It was at the corner of (North) Harwood and Main that the Kennedy limousine made its turn onto Main Street, in front of the White Plaza Hotel (currently operated as the Dallas Hotel Indigio).
The camera then pans from the hotel, across the front of the “Gold Ring” parking garage, to Commerce Street and the Staler-Hilton Hotel Dallas (where Robert Oswald checked in the weekend of the assassination). The hotels used the parking garage.
