ELVIS PRESLEY - FORMER PRESLEY HOME FOR SALE ON EBAY

A house in Memphis, Tennessee purchased by ELVIS PRESLEY in 1956 will go up for sale on internet auction site eBay next month (APR06). Presley and his parents purchased the home in March 1956, the same month HEARTBREAK HOTEL became his first number one hit. The home was the setting for many famous photos of The King, notably ones taken by ALFRED WERTHEIMER. The family moved out of the house in 1957, when they relocated to Graceland, which was named a National Historic Landmark on Monday (27MAR06). The mid-'50s ranch-style house has a low-pitched hip roof, an attached two-car garage, a motorcycle garage and a swimming pool. Bidding on the online auction site will open on 14 April (06) and close 14 May (06).
