Elvis the King - of Design?

August 9 marks the beginning of Elvis Week in Memphis, Tennessee, when thousands of fans converge on Graceland, home of the Rock 'n Roll idol.

Elvis Presley died on August 17, 1977, and Graceland is now a National Historic Landmark. Of course, in this case historic doesn't mean old so much as interesting. Graceland is a souped-up Colonial Revival with interior decor that is, well, different.
