What Graceland room is your favorite? Let me know below!
I went there in 1984, a couple years after it opened. The Jungle Room was probably my Favorite. I wanna go back. MERRY CHRISTMENT and HAPPY NEW YEAR Ashley.
The Dining Room!
I like the kitchen cause Elvis was most comfortable for him to be with his mother. Iâve seen pics of him with his mom. He loved being where she was.
The TV room in the basement is my favorite. It feels so homey and relaxing.
The part of the living room leading into the music room with the peacock glass.. I would've like to sit on that end of the white couch right by those while he plays the piano and sings. The dining room is beautiful too.
Great work, Ashley and Brandon. This geek ate it all up. The cars were parked on the grass at the time of the premiere of This Is Elvis. When the tours started the following year, the cars were displayed under the carport. I remember the two Stutzes, the Ferrari, Pink Cadillac, and a random assortment that included trikes, a Jeep and a snowmobile. The cars stayed there until the car museum opened. Glad you discussed the glass blocks at top of stairs, but still a mystery!
Thanks Jay!
This was so interesting. Brandon's insight really makes you wonder about the original house and all the changes. I wish there were more pictures around. Another great video Ashley.
Brandon rocks! He's pointed out so many things I've never known. Thanks a lot, Carol!
There is definitely a fold out ironing board still behind the wooden panel in the kitchen! Angie showed it to viewers on a virtual tour I participated in back in May '21. She said she had never opened the panel for a tour previously. So special and so cool!
Really! Thatâs so awesome you got to see it. Thanks for watching!
Love the pic of Elvis playing the piano. Iâm always reminded of lisa talking about daddy playing the piano.
âșïž thanks for watching!
I visited in 1986, all the cars and other vehicles were in the driveway and carport, I even sat in the pink jeep. I remember it clear as day!
Awesome! Thanks for watching!
I watched all of it and I feel like there should be a part 2. Please consider having him back on. Thank you Ashley and Brandon!
Noted! Thanks for watching, Sooner!
at 2:39 the image in the corner of a woman- thatâs Grace touf , an image of her from someone doctoring the photo
Wow, amazing! Wish I could see every inch of Graceland! Those carpet stains, wow, never noticed them either. Thanks for the video Ashley!
Us too!! Isnât that crazy? Thanks for tuning in, Bruce!
When I was growing up in England and saw pictures of graceland It looks so big but the day I went to graceland And when I walk through the door It looks so small And so cozy And I had so many tears because because this was my Dream to see Elvis home The first time 1988 Now I lived in America I have been to his home to his home 9 times And I'm always saying to my mom thank you for playing those records to me because my mom likes Elvis. Ok. Happy New Year to you keep on doing a good job đđđđđđđ„
I know what you mean! When I first visited I was surprised at how cozy it felt. Some rooms even reminded me of my grandparentsâ house. Happy New Year! Thanks so much âșïž
It does seem smaller inside compared to outside from what I've seen on CZcams ..
I'm in the UK and my dad is the cause of my love of Elvis .. (he had 4 records that when put together made a huge picture of him, I used to get them out all the time as a very young child to make the picture up and scratched all of the records lol)
Ok. My mind is blown !!!!!! So much stuff to uncover! Wouldnât it be great if they would do a new Gates of Graceland with Angie and Tom Brown and walk us through what you just showed?!? Open doors, draw the curtains and (wait for it) pull out the ironing board!!!!! And turn on the red lights! OMG !!! This was a kick-ass awesome video. Thank you đ
From all us Graceland Nerds !
(I need to watch this again)
Hey so glad you enjoyed it! Yesss that would be great if they could show us!
Nerds unite! Thanks Marisa!
yes please can you contact them to do it
Elvis and Gladys did a great job of redoing the house after he purchased it.
Absolutely!
I hope they have a great fire sprinkler system. Iâve always worried I would hear about a fire destroying Graceland. Letâs pray a tornado never hits it!
Letâs think positive! Thanks for watching!
Absolutely love this type of info. Thank you so much. Look forward to more
So happy you enjoyed it, thank you Wendy!
I love it too. I used to redecorate homes for people when I lived in Colorsdo.
Thank you Ms Ashley and Mr. Brandon into the insight on Graceland. Very interesting. Great idea for a video Ms Ashley. May you and yours have a healthy Happy New Year. Mr. Brandon and his family too.
Thatâs so sweet, thank you Lynne!
Hi Ashley! Loved this video. I toured the house many times between 1985-1990 (and many times since), however I never saw any cars on the grass in the backyard. I do clearly recall them being pulled up in the back carport area - I even seem to recall that carport are wasn't covered in the 80s - but never on the grass itself. And yes, you could walk right up to them in the carport!
Thanks Laura! In the 80âs, there were promotional photos and videos made for Graceland with the classic cars right on the lawn. Itâs wild! Thanks for watching!
EXCELLENT job, once again, Ashley! This video is 'right up my alley'! đ Very cool to look at Graceland from an architectural aspect AND very interesting! đđ
Awesome! Thanks a lot N Getz, happy you enjoyed this perspective!
Very, very, very cool đ. Love seeing and wondering how, when & why things were changed. Really quite interesting. Thanks so much for sharing this with us. Loved it. đșđ»đșđ»đžđ€đ€đ”âđ«đ”âđ«
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks Jeri!
Love the glass doors with peacocks. Itâs so pretty.
It really is!
Wow - always had so many questions about Graceland . Ashley u keep raising the bar !!!
Thank u so much for your expertise . Thereâs just one area I havenât seen yet âŠâŠ. the garage apartment ! đ
I read this before seeing your name - I was like dang so many people want to see the apartment all the sudden! Lol. Thanks a lot Jeff! Happy you enjoyed this one âĄïž
Thatâs how l apply the pressure !!! Lol someday weâll

I canât tell you how fun this is to see it all before Elvis too.
Happy you enjoyed it!
Very interesting Ashley!â€ïž Very homey, I bet Elvis wanted it that way even though the house was bigâ€ïž
Thanks for watching!
You're so sweet and adorable Ashley. Watched this one twice just to make sure I didn't miss. Great Great job. Thank you. So very interesting

Hi Here in Oregon a lot of southern-style homes were built after the Oregon Trail. I was told that a home here in my town that has similar windows, were opened similar to doors in the summer to let the air flow through the house like an air conditioning to stay cool.
Interesting! A lot like Graceland. Thanks for watching!
There was significant architectural changes from the original 'Moore' floor plans to the floor plans during Elvis time of ownership. As stated in the video the kitchen area was separated in two with a wall with a what was originally a 'Breakfast Room' when you went through the door from the dining room. There was a small room in the back center of the house that was a 'Garden Room' in the 'Moore' floor plan. The upstairs layout was also changed where Elvis bedroom and office are today. The office area was actually the 'Moore' daughters bedroom and there was an alcove area that had two separate doors to the master and daughters bedroom. That was altered with the alcove removed during Elvis time. The glass blocks on the upstairs landing back wall allowed for light to be brought in to a short pathway behind it that was between the dressing room and bathroom area for the 'Moore' daughter. The Elvis floor plan opened this two separate bathroom/dressing area to one large room. Because of this open concept in that room, curtains were placed on the stairwell landing to cover the glass blocks.
Thanks for watching!
Wow, Great stuff once again Ashley and thank you Brandon for joining in with your knowledge of Elvis' beloved home. That time flew by, I was geeking out with you, lol. The 360 view is such a cool technology and gives a whole new perspective, so very cool... an all-time favorite now. I really could watch another hour and then some. Very enjoyable... well done and thanks to you both! Peace and Grace to you and yours!
Thanks so much, Jennifer! Graceland geeks unite! We had fun creating this and are so glad you enjoyed it
This was a good interview. Seriously consider a âPart 2â, that covers speculation on the upstairs original layout and renovations and other interesting features. Take a look at the opening scene of âThis is Elvisâ, and compare what you see as the actor briefly walks through the upstairs hallway. You can really see a lot in the short span of the filming there. Maybe have Brandon sketch his thoughts on that layout (considering the angled walls leading to the dressing room and Lisaâs room) vs. the original layout which apparently had a closet at the end of that hall. Billy Smith of any other member of his family would be a GREAT source for factual information.
Yep! He has it all drawn out! Notes about a part 2. Thanks for watching!
Now it makes sense why the decision was made to put the Christmas tree in front of that large window in dining area. It probably could be seen really well from outside that large glass window.
Thanks for watching!
This was great, really enjoyed it. I don't get tired of Graceland videos - hope you do this again sometime!
Awesome! We just might! Thanks a lot Rachel!
Absolutely love all this information! â€thank you!! â€â€
So happy you you enjoyed it! Thank you for watching
Awesome. Very interesting. Thereâs one thing I donât understand, I have wondered about this many times. the glass blocks with the bathroom behind it is on the landing to the right are a few more steps to go up to Elvisâs office and bedroom, so you go through his office to get to the bathroom, are there steps going down into the bathroom or are the glass blocks in between floors? I hope explain this enough for you to understand what Iâm talking about. Thank you both for the video..
I wonder if they are even visible in the bathroom. They could just be a decorative facade. They obviously were never on an outside wall.
The blocks on the landing take up the middle of the wall, so I think in the bathroom they are at floor level. Like you said there's a few more steps up to the second floor. Just a guess, hope that helps! Thanks for watching, Donna!
Very interesting stuff!! Thank You Ashley!!
Thanks for tuning in, Rob!
My husband and I went to Graceland in 1986 and all the cars were on the grass and in the carport. They let you sit in the pink jeep and take a picture. Also we went on Elvis bus that was there, but found out in 2011 that it was not his bus. The lamp in the living room on the table and when you see pictures of it with Elvis it had a big gold stripe on it and today the stripe is gone on the lamp shade
Oooh interesting!!
Thank you very much, Ashley and Brandon for this very interesting video.đđ»It wasn't always easy for me to follow the explanations about the original kitchen but I did my best !đ€
The intriguing "lady" in the picture is a bust, perhaps the goddess Venus who is sometimes represented with a headdress or Euterpe, the muse of music.
My Graceland favorite room is the music room.I sometimes picture Elvis and his family singing carols and hymns there at Christmas and Easter.
Elvis's grandma was said to play the organ very well.đ
Me too, the kitchen is the hardest for me to imagine. Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it!
Wow, what an amazing idea for a video, I canât wait. Merry Christmas!
Awesome! Hope you like it Dave!
@@ashleysadventures I so enjoyed this chat between you both, the kitchen discussion I found to be especially interesting, the whole video gave me a new perspective of how to view Graceland. The fact that the architect was also a fan of Elvis as well as so well versed in Graceland was a bonus score for us viewers.
Weâre happy you liked it! I enjoy hearing Brandonâs perspective and knew viewers would, too. Thanks for watching!
I have photos of 1982,84,86 of pics of cars on the grass. Had my pic made in the pink jeep.
This was so interesting! I loved it! I am a bit confused about the glass blocks as well. From the floor plan drawings Iâve seen, it looks like the bathroom is to the right of these blocks and deck directly behind. There is a pic of Lindaâs dog in that bathroom but hard to tell whatâs what.
Happy you enjoyed it! I definitely hear you! Thanks for watching, Jill
You have to remember that the area at the top of the stairs is a couple feet below the bathroom floor behind the glass blocks.
Itâs has to be in less the bathroom floor is sunken. Compare the top landing to EPS room to the landing. Make sense??
Happy Holidays from Northeast Texas
Happy holidays!
So interesting to understand what Graceland looked like before Elvis and what stayed what was removed or added. I wish we could have spoken to the original architect about Graceland and the thought process behind the design. It would be super interesting if Linda would explain the before and after interior designs.
Totally! Thanks for watching!
This interview was awesome !
Thanks for watching!
There was a a tremendous space between the two floors. Unless, someone came in and lowered the ceiling to hide ductwork. ????
Back when Graceland built, the way people lived was different. Bedrooms had few if any closets, they used ward robe furniture for cloths. Dressers for linen's. Hutches for staples, like flour, sugar, etc. Matter of fact in the basement there is a small room where a body guard stayed - at one time that might have been all canned goods. When I was a teen we had a house a lot like Graceland and built in the 30s. The front had an entry to a second door. That entry was always full of coats and boots and shoes. Our kitchen had a stairway that went to the 3rd floor so it had no attic. The basement had a huge boiler. First floor had large registers where heat came out. The formal living room had a grand piano that came with the house. It would be a big job to convert these homes to heat & ac.
Thanks for watching!
Wow that's was so interesting . Will have to watch it again so much information there.will the be Any more like this. Funny the stains on the carpet by the settee , maybe some one spilt there coffee.
I was watching a video of Trey 's before this and he was talking to an old friend of Elvis called Ronald forgotten his surname , but said that he went to the house just before Elvis furniture it and they were roller skateing inside. So it must have been on those old floor boards you were talking about. This is so interesting. Thank you Ashley
Arenât the stains crazy?
Iâm not associated whatsoever with that person or their channel.
Thanks for watching, Sheila!
Thanks for the great video
Thanks for watching!
Hi Ashley, GREAT video as usual! Sorry it took so long to comment on this, but LOTS going on here. This is a perfect time to ask you about something I've been wanting to ask you about for a long time. Have you ever heard of or saw the Graceland imitation house in Orlando, FL? You probably have at least heard of it? I know that you're a Graceland lover as I am. Everything about the place just amazes and intrigues me. It's like our modern day castle. lol With this video, it made me think of again the Graceland imitation in FL. Some say it's an exact replica, it's NOT. It's a tribute at best. Don't get me wrong, it's cool. And it would give average people like ourselves a chance to have the next best thing to Graceland (maybe)? It's like half the size at approx. 8500 sq. ft. And it could look closer it being a brick, instead of limestone. I'm not sure as far as interior how close that is, if at all? Not a lot on that. Anyway, I just wanted to bring this up to you and get your thoughts on it. Here is a link to a CZcams video of it and and the address if you wanted to Google Map it. czcams.com/video/XNscJpS0ABQ/video.html czcams.com/video/CAskd-ThDM8/video.html 6987 Hyland Oaks Dr, Orlando, FL 32818 Thank you for all that you do! Keep up the Great work. I look forward to your next video. Have a Great day!
Iâm only interested in Gracelandâs history. Thanks for watching!
Oh Ms Ashley, I loved it so much, will watch again and again, Thank you again
Yay! Thanks a lot Gina, happy you enjoyed it âșïž
@ Ashleyâs Adventures Sorry I missed the Premier
No worries Dean!
I missed the live premier of the video but I must say, I can watch you and Brandon talk about Graceland all day long!!!! I learned more about Graceland and more importantly it answered some of my very own questions, like what was in the kitchen by that Black Refridgerator, I always thought that was a mud room that went to the garage/car ports (hopefully that makes sense). Thank you Ashley and Brandon for an amazing video :)
Hey bud, thatâs awesome, so glad some questions were answered! We had fun nerding out and happy you enjoyed it. Thanks Jason!
Another Great one Ash. I believe the dinning room window either had to have been a door or had been intended to have been a door at one time. It is different than all the other windows and has âside lightsâ (narrow windows alongside doors) as a door would have. And the example your guest had of the other like window, I donât think those were side lights, but rather shutters he was seeing.
The original blueprints specify window. Thanks for watching!
Thank you Ashley for sharing your chat with architect Brandon Ingram with us in Elvis world.Thereâs always things that I I havenât noticed before at your Graceland videos This is fin insight from you and an architect point of view with all the perspectives .Thank you âĄ
So happy you enjoyed this one with a special guest! Thanks Jan!! âĄïž
Thank you for bringing us this video.
There is so much more to learn. The white door in old kitchen picture has a glass hand plate and no knob. I think it is a back and forth swing door, similar to the one that went to the dining room, however it is lacking the small windows.
The old kitchen pictures looks to me as the table might actually be a peninsula from the sink wall of the built in cabinets. This appear to be sitting height (30â) as opposed to cabinet height (36â). The remodel added the stepped down between the two heights that you see now.
I have found a picture of Graceland under construction. It is faded and water damaged, but shows the front of the house and is taken just north of the dining room. It appears that the âservice roomâ and presumably servantâs room are not there. There is a temporary fence around the construction, and sky goes all the way to the ground next to the northern chimney.
I am guessing the âadditionâ might have been a change order during late construction. You can find a pink âGraceland Farmâ brochure (May 1942) that has the addition. There would be a considerable beam required to hold up the stone siding going east from the chimney. Today you can see a drop in the ceiling level of the kitchen right where the beam is. The far end ceiling is about 6â lower.
Also from the laundry furnace room there is a heating chase that goes under the main floor and up through the servants room to the attic of the one story area. From this attic it appears to go south and into Lisaâs room and up into the main attic at the northern most end. Lisaâs room has a wall of built in cabinets on the north side to hide this chase.
As for the glass block, Art Deco was contemporary to the build time but not the homes style. Glass block seems to be in and then not, and then inâŠ.
I donât like it and Iâm guessing Elvis didnât either.
The ceilings downstairs are about 9 feet. There are a couple of guesses as to why. The oldâŠ.old⊠houses of this style had ten or twelve foot ceilings and transom doors to manage heat.
The reason, I think, Graceland does not is the central attic fan. The basement rooms all have casement windows (now covered) below grade level to let in cool air. There is a breaker box near the stairs to the basement with switch breakers which might turn on the fan. One of them is labeled exhaust fan.
Square D (the breaker manufacturer) markets the breakers as convenient switches as well as breakers.
Awesome! Thanks for watching!
You bring such a gracious charm to your teaching videos. I know there are many hours into the research. Thank you for what you do.
You might ask Brandon for me on this oneâŠ
I think there is a structural misstep in Graceland. The living room fire place is directly above the one in the TV room. Structurally the chimney flue of the lower fireplace must jog either north or south to miss the one from above. Looking at the blue prints and house, it appears the architect chose north, or towards the center hall of the house. Looking directly at the living room from the outside front confirms the two flue structure above the roof is offset to the north of the centerline of the living room. Itâs not centered between the front windows as the fireplace box is inside.
The problem this creates is on the backside of the roof. There are two âdoghouseâ vents. The north one over Lisaâs bedroom has plenty of room. The southern one does not. The double roof rafters to support the southern side of this doghouse run right against the chimney. Because it has been jogged to the center of the house, it puts the doghouse right up in the roof valley. As a general practice, you donât want water flowing toward a roof/wall seam and you donât want to interfere with a roof valley water flow. Optically, it looks jammed together.
Jogging the the TV room flue to the south would solve all those problems and yielded slightly more floor space to the master bedroom.
This suggests (to me) the two story rear projection was added later in the blue print process. The glass block at the top of the stairs maybe does as well, as Brandon said. Also the two story part of the house has a basement room under all of it, except for the bump out in the back. I kinda feel like they werenât bothering to re-engineer the house (foundations) for the new changes. A basement room under the bird room makes sense to me. If I were designing it, I would make this area a âroot cellarâ with access to the outside stairs by putting a door where the vent is that Brandon showed. This location could easily include a sink by its proximity to a bathroom.
So I think the architects started with a âstandardâ two story mansion blue print (the rectangle of the existing basement) and then made some custom changes.
Change one, music room. Right from the start.
Change two, add the two story bump out to the back, in the middle of the design phase.
Change three, add the service room kitchen extension and servantâs quarters and garage late in the actual building process. All of these âchangesâ have just an easy add crawl space beneath.
Another as built vs as designed item are the steps to the porch. As designed shows them starting right at the columns. As built has a one step down large stone area, and then the four steps to the driveway.
I really appreciate your kind words, Henry. Itâs truly a labor of love.
Iâll send your message to Brandon. We appreciate you tuning in!
Very interesting Graceland was big for its time . I was surprised in 2013 when my dream came true visiting Graceland how it was not as big as I thought it was
I thought the exact same thing! Thanks for watching
I canât believe E did the whole house in red including the carpets in the 70âs. after he died the first thing Pricilla did was change the house back to how it had been when she was there thank goodness for that. E had questionable taste in decorating as he got older lol
Thanks for watching!
I'm trying to remember who's book the carpets were mentioned in. Said about everyone coming over with their shoes on and the carpet getting dirty but them saying not to worry, Elvis would just have the carpet replaced anyway.
Ah well that explains it!
@@ashleysadventures
Have you ever seen any pictures of the sofas in living room when they were blue?
Yes, thereâs a few out there. I talk a bit about it in this one: czcams.com/video/kzA72Zw6T3c/video.html
I love the kitchen because I love old vintage kitchen items and I love the stove top.
Itâs a great space. Thanks for watching!
Another super and totally interesting video Ashley. Whilst reading the book Graceland through the years, it has some documents pertaining to the 1974 makover. for 250 dollars!! Elvis had a clock and custom built frame over fireplace. I wonder if the clock that now hangs over the fireplace is same clock. hope this answers your question over the fireplace? We certainly need part two! As always looking forward to many many more awesome episodes.
Thanks Clive! That point will covered in next weekâs video actually!
Remember in the first Home Alone movie which is a similar house to this.. the laundry room is in the basement with the big scary furnace? It's crazy to me also. The stain..wine?
I just watched that!! đ yes, so similar! Thanks for watching, Karen!
thanks for sharing this video with us lok forward to more storys
Thanks for watching!
Love it Ashley,,,Dianne from Phoenix Ariz

It`s hard to choose Ashleyđbut I think the dining room !
Very grand! Thanks for watching!
This was amazing!!!!! Thank you so much.
So glad you enjoyed it! We had a lot of fun making it. Thank you!
Billy & Jo Smith lived in a trailer in the backyard. They say there was a couple more trailers in back too. Didnât see them in your photos.? I was surprised to here in another video that thereâs 8 bedrooms in there! It sure doesnât look big enough! Is that true?
What video is that? Iâve been asked this a lot recently! I think thatâs referring to how it was in Elvisâs time: Elvisâs bedroom, Elvis is Office, Lisaâs bedroom, the bodyguard bedroom next to the master bath, the parents, downstairs bedroom, the bird room, and deltas bedroom and either the annex apartment, or the basement bedroom
Amazing video!!! TCBđ
Thanks for watching!
Wow this was so interesting to watch, such a shame the photos aren't more clearer but amazing that we are able to see them as it was originally. Do they still have stuff stored in the attic or has all that been cleared and put in the archives. Where do they store all the outside Christmas displays and lights etc when New Year is over? Thanks for sharing this we defo need a part 2.
Happy you enjoyed it! Part 2? Noted! The attic is cleared out and the items are in archives. The larger outdoor decorations are stored in a warehouse storage.
Thanks for watching!
Ashley, have you seen a photo of Elvis' dog in Linda's bathroom? If not...I can send it to you.
I have. Thanks for watching!
The stairs leading to our imagination...
You need to ask Danny and Jo Smith some of these questions. They would know.
Thanks for watching!
If you have him on again, Iâd love to know his thoughts on the way the stairway has been closed off on the 2nd floor. Iâm guessing it was Elvisâs way of blocking off sound from downstairs and giving him more privacy, but it still seems like a very odd choice.
Great question! I'd love to make a part 2. I'll see what we can cook up!
The kitchen staircase leads to the landing but those are the only ways up
Cool
Thanks for watching, Michelle!
Iâll also bet you that the staircase is hardwood. There was no carpet in 1939. There were rugs.
Thanks for watching!
Billy Smith was there from the beginning, see if he will talk to you about all the questions you have.
Thanks for watching!

I hope you do!
Elvis must've had the kitchen remodeled either at the time he bought Graceland in 1957 or shortly thereafter. The wall oven in the photo of Dee and Priscilla at 18:46 or so seems to be a 1950s Thermador model. I tried posting a link to a photo of one (that even shows VERY similar cabinets and hardware), but it seems to disappear.
Totally! It mustâve been. Great eye, Iâll Google it. Yeah for some reason CZcams thinks links are spam comments and erases them. Thanks for watching!
@@ashleysadventures I posted the pic on your Facebook page below your link to the video.
Billy Smith and family should be able to tell you about the lady in the living room
Maybe, but that photo is from the 40âs. Thanks for watching!
I wonder if the triangular space that is supported by the 4 columns at the entrance is actually an accessible little crawl space or storage area. Could that be the attic?
I wonder that too. I'll try to find out
Wow thank you!! đđ
brilliant video
Thanks so much Ian! Glad you enjoyed it
Which idea was that opening Graceland on 1982?Why all glory going to Priscilla?I think that is not was her idea.
It was either that or sell Graceland!
Hey Ashley! I was just watching a video on Billy and Jo Smithâs channel, Elvis Fans Matter, and Billy answered the question about whatâs behind the glass blocks behind the curtain going up the stairs!! đł Itâs on a video titled âViewersâ Questions Answeredâ starting at 33:15. Billy first makes a joke, then he says that behind the blocks is a door leading to the balcony above the jungle room.
I always thought it was the bathroom to Priscillaâs, Lindaâs, and Gingerâs, little suit back there. What do you think of Billyâs answer? Iâm really intrigued now. Please check it out!
You're exactly right. The glass blocks are sort of in the middle of the house, the office/ladies bathroom is in the middle back. The jungle room is all the way to the side and the sundeck above it is near Lisa's bedroom.
I'm all turned around with that answer. He's the only one of us that has actually been up there!
Exactly! Wow. Iâm so amazed by his answer. Thanks to Billy for revealing what weâve been pondering about the heck is behind those blocks! Ever since I watched your video I couldnât stop think about it. đđ

So were Hodge stayed is the old laundry room?
No, the laundry room was always laundry located in the hall in the basement. The little bedroom is more of a large closet in the TCB den
@@ashleysadventures But didnt Hodge stay in the room down there??
right of the pool table
down the hall leading back up to jungle room
No, thatâs the laundry room. The door to Charlieâs room is in the TCB den across from the bar. The actual room is behind the fireplace

One other note and no disrespect to Elvis or his family, but they werenât the most sophisticated people in the world so they could be forgiven for some of their design choices.
Ugh RUDE!! And youâre Soooo sophisticated? Anyone that is that RUDE, certainly DOESNâT have ANY sophistication!! đđđđđđđ
