Before moving into Graceland in the spring of ’57, Elvis Presley and his mom and dad (Gladys, Vernon) lived in eight Memphis residences, starting with their initial arrival in November 1948.
Here are the eight addresses, all linked to Google Maps:
1. 370 Washington Ave. (11/48 through early summer of 1949 — $11/weekly rental.)
2. 572 Poplar Avenue, just a block north of 370 Washington.
3. Lauderdale Courts apartments, 185 Winchester Street (9 blocks north of Beale Street) — a two-bedroom, first-floor apartment, #328, for $35 a month. September ’49 to January ’53.
4. A brief stay at 698 Saffarans Ave.
5. 462 Alabama Ave., moved in April 1953.
6. They moved to 2414 Lamar Avenue in 1954 — the year when things began to happen for Elvis.
7. In late 1955 they moved into a slightly nicer home at 1414 Getwell Road.
8. In March 1956, two months after Elvis struck it rich with sales of “Heartbreak Hotel”, they all moved into a spacious ranch-style home at 1034 Audubon Drive.
