President James A. Garfield was not murdered in the West Building of the National Gallery of Art, but rather at the Baltimore and Potomac Railroad Station, which was located on the site of the current National Gallery's West Building. The assassination attempt occurred on July 2, 1881, and Garfield died from his injuries on September 19, 1881.
