Elvis shows off his 2 seater German car, which he used to haul on later tours so he could drive around.

Elvis enjoyed the back yard and had the pool installed – and a brick chest high fence.

He had twin beds in his room, which had pink wall paper and his own phone.

It had a recreational room and two cars in the garage and a motorcycle besides.

In 1957, he moved to Graceland and for his entire career, he paid the full amount of taxes.

It seems fitting in 2017, with the end of the Middle Class in the western world, that this house has been damaged by fire.

the house changed colour, but the “P” on the awnings was still there.

this is my 1989 photo of the house

It was not on the regular tour, as it was a private neighbourhood again

the tour guide agreed to take the Canadian tour group to the address if any of us knew it

at 19, I was the youngest and the only one who knew the address

at almost 60 I am less geeky than I used to be and am not sure why the photo is upside down
