Graceland Part:1, Memphis, TN

Elvis Presley purchased Graceland Mansion for $102,000 in 1957. He resided here until his death in 1977.

Elvis was 43 years old when he passed that August. His home is exactly the same as when he lived in it those twenty years.





The home itself is right in the middle of Memphis. The office for tours is across the street. You can take an audio tour and see the two planes that he owned. You can see his collection of vehicles. Not all were cars!



The picture below is of the suite which was down stairs where his parents lived. The walls are a nice cream color but all of the rest is done in a dark purple velvet.


The picture below is of the living room. Note the outlandish stained glass room dividers. He sure liked white didn't he?


This is a picture of the dining room. Note the mirrowed walled. WOW, I remember those!




This room was an area where they watched television and also listened to music. I like the little monkey on the table.



Now we get to the two pictures below. This is the family room or entertaining room for guests. The floors and the ceiling has shag carpet. Also the one wall you see in the background on the first picture has a waterfall flowing down the rocks.









See ya down the road for Part: 2
