Graceland



A pink Cadillac driven by Elvis and later gifted to his Mother which she continued to drive for the rest of her life.














Seating area next to the bar - not the 3 TV screens, very advanced in its day. there was also a billiards room on this level.











The bar in the basement.













The jungle room. This photo does not do it justice, it it a totally over the top, informal sittingroom filled with animal skins, a thick green shagpile carpet, heavily carved wooden furniture etc










Set off to the left just after going through the front door, Elvis had a formal dining room and on the right a formal sitting room. We were not allowed upstairs. As you went back through the house there was a downstairs bedroom used by his parents, then the kitchen and the 'jungle room' and access to the basement level.









Some of his earlier jumpsuits which he became so famous for, later on these became much gaudier and a cape was added.

















The final resting place of Elvis Prestley and his parents.














The front of Graceland. It is set back from the road and reasonably well shielded from view by tall trees.
