Hi, Roy nice to see your message.
Well, let me tell you a little bit about this house in general. First of all the photo that you see there and the ones on the link that I am about to provide you were taken by a man that is a friend of a friend that I know in the UK. The man is her friend that lives here in the states. The address is on the link at the top right hand corner.
The man that is here in the states bought that house and is going to make a museum out of it some time this year either in the state of Oklahoma or Kansas. The house was going to be torn down because it had became very old, run down and the homeless in the area. As you look at this link you will see what I mean by that.

My friend in the UK has done about 30 years of research and is a wealth of information on Emmett Dalton if you are interested in him. Also, she has uploaded, on her web site, Emmett's film "The Man of The Desert" if you would like to see Emmett when he was alive! He moved, and as you may or may not know, from this house to Hollywood where he became an actor and then a contractor later on in his life. The movie, I thought, was very good viewing! I don't know if she loaded it on her web page or not but at the end is some great footage that Tackett took and produced in 1909 of the robbery the boys did. There is some super footage of Death Alley as it looked back in those days which is now changed/lost in the sands of time.

I hope you enjoy the photos and such.
