Elvis Presley House, Ranch house in Memphis, United States
The Elvis Presley House is a one-story ranch-style house at 1034 Audubon Drive in Memphis, Tennessee, with vertical green paneling, white-trimmed awnings over two front windows and a recessed green door flanked by black lantern sconces. It has four bedrooms, two bathrooms and a two-car attached garage.
Elvis Presley bought the house in March 1956 and lived there with his parents before moving to Graceland thirteen months later. The building received National Register of Historic Places status in March 2006 and is maintained by the Mike Curb Institute at Rhodes College.
The residence marked the period when Heartbreak Hotel reached number one, leading to constant gatherings of fans and photographers outside the property.
The house sits in a residential neighborhood in eastern Memphis and is visible from the street. Access is through public roads that connect the area to the rest of the city.
The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in March 2006, just before its public auction on eBay two months later. Reports said spoon-bender Uri Geller had won with a bid of $905,100, but the house went to record executive Mike Curb for a reported $1 million.
