Elvis Buys Family’s First Home
The King of Rock and Roll was more than a great performer. He was also a loving son who often used his fame and fortune to help his parents.
In early 1956, Elvis was just 21 years old and was on his way to becoming one of the most popular singers in America. On March 3, before boarding a plane with his cousin, Elvis wrote a $500 check as a down payment on a house at 1034 Audubon Drive in Memphis, Tennessee. The home would be the first one his family ever owned.
Elvis purchased the house with royalties earned from “Heartbreak Hotel.” While Elvis was on tour, his parents moved their belongings into the new home. Elvis’ arrival in the well-to-do neighborhood garnered attention from locals and the press alike.
Elvis made several improvements to the house, including the addition of a pool house and wrought-iron fence. However, in the year that Elvis’ family lived there, he approached superstardom. Enthusiastic fans camped in the yard hoping to catch a glimpse of the young star. It was once again time for Elvis and his parents to move on to a larger, more secure home – Graceland. The former owner of Graceland, Ruth Moore, then moved into Elvis’ first home on Audubon Drive.
