GRACELND-STATS-PG

The house itself when Elvis purchased it had 10,266 square feet. Today the home is 17, 552 square feet, exluding the
Raquetball building which is a little over 2000 square feet.
In the first year after Elvis purchased Graceland he spent upwards of half a million dollars, inside and outside. The wall that
surrounds the property is made of Alabama fieldstone, and cost him $65, 000. The iron music gates, designed for Elvis by
Abe Saucer and custom-built by Doors Inc. of Memphis, were $2, 400. He also had the pool put in and enlarged the patio
considerably.
Graceland's white carpeting, white 15 ft. sofa (made in 1957) and blue drapes, in otherwords, the blue, white and gold color
scheme were in place @ Graceland until 1974 when Elvis allowed his then girlfriend, Linda Thompson to re-decorate
Graceland. Linda had the rooms done in blood red carpeting, red Louis furniture and white shag rugs. The downstairs tv
room and pool room were also re-done, with Elvis instructing that he wanted 3 tv sets in the far wall of the tv room (hence it's
name).
