It is official Elvis Presley's former home in Memphis, Tennessee is now designated as a National Historic landmark. Fewer than 25, 000 locations across the US have this designation. Obviously the blue-bloods will be against this on principle, but the blue-suede shoes made rock and roll and the 20-Century would not have been the same without them.
Elvis purchased the home for $103,000 in 1957 after the release of his first hit record "Heartbreak Hotel". Elvis and Priscilla's daughter Lisa Marie Presley is the sole owner of Graceland which as a museum has over 600,000 visitors a year.
