Just where was Guy Banister's detective agency located?
Here is his letterhead:
His address is pretty clear - 531 Lafayette Street, not 544 Camp Street.
In addition, here is an excerpt from one of his newsletters - hardly the stuff of a crack detective agency:
People going to 544 Camp Street in 1963 would have not have found Guy Banister's detective agency. In fact, while 544 Camp Street and 531 Lafayette Street were entrances to the Newman building, they were not connected. Here is an excerpt from a PBS Frontline interview with Joe Newbrough, who worked for Banister:
Just to illustrate - here is a picture of the two entrances:
On the left (A) is 544 Camp Street; on the right (B) is 531 Lafayette Street - the entrance for Banister's office; and (C) on the second floor, Room 6, was Sergio Arcacha Smith's office.

Don't miss the Viewer's Guide to JFK: Destiny Betrayed and JFK Revisited: Through the Looking Glass.
Over the past several months, I have shown in multiple blog posts how Oliver Stone's documentary series, JFK Revisited and JFK: Destiny Betrayed, misleads viewers. In fact, despite months of work, there are still many more misleading segments that need to be addressed. It's no wonder that the fact checkers of Netflix nixed the airing of the films.
There is a choice between four hours of tendentious nonsense (JFK: Destiny Betrayed) and two hours (JFK Revisited: Through the Looking Glass).
