After the owner of the complex had challenged the original decision, a city attorney in Dallas announced Monday that the scheduled demolition of Lee Harvey Oswald’s apartment will go ahead as planned, the Dallas Morning News reports.

Originally ordered to be razed in 2011, the owner objected and managed to delay the demolition. But Andrew Gilbert, senior assistant city attorney, said in a letter that the city will conduct asbestos abatement “over the next several days” and then will begin “the immediate demolition.”
