Elvis Presley: ‘Unusual’ aspect of Graceland’s dining room The King kept when he moved in
Elvis Presley famously lived at Graceland from 1957-1977 and made a number of additions and changes to the property including the Jungle Room. The Memphis mansion was previously owned by the Moore family and there was one “unusual” part of the home that The King kept the same. This “unique” aspect of Graceland is located in its dining room to this day.
Earlier this year, Express.co.uk took part in a virtual live tour of the Graceland mansion that was expertly guided by in-house archivist Angie Marchese.
While in the dining room, she pointed out the two buddha statues at the end of the room on either side, sitting on shelves in the corners.
Angie said: “Now the really cool thing about this is these built-in bookshelves and buddhas were here when Elvis bought Graceland, which is so unusual.
“So the Moores actually had these here and Elvis just loved them.”
