[Karen, 06/27/2021]We were there on May 29, 2017.... 61 yrs to the day that Elvis signed the papers on this home. It was sold to a local college. Neighbor stopped and said "not many know about this." He explained it was being refurbished (original furniture, etc.) but caught fire (electrical) about 2 weeks ago and destroyed the inside completely. Neighborhood wondering what will happen now.

On our way to Graceland we detoured to check out Elvis's first home in Memphis, it's on a beautiful quiet street surrounded by gorgeous houses. Presley's house is hard to miss with its distinctive P's on the awnings.
Not much to do but get a couple shots and read the plaque, but a pleasant stop nonetheless.
