Elvis Presley's childhood home heads to auction
The childhood home of Elvis Presley has been listed for auction - but the once-abandoned little blue house will be sold in an unusual way.
Located in Tupelo, Mississippi, the dilapidated structure was home to the King of Rock'n'Roll and his parents, Vernon and Gladys Presley, from 1943 to 1944.
According to the New York Post, the home will be auctioned off on August 14 as part of week-long celebrations of Elvis Week 2022 in Memphis.
However, the home has been listed by Rockhurst Auctions with an estimated price of $US 30,000-50,000 ($NZD 48-80,000) and doesn't come with any land.
Instead, the house comes completely disassembled, ready to be taken to a new location.
“The house itself has been dismantled and taken apart meticulously, so it can be put back together. It is being stored in a trailer,” Jeff Marren, owner of Rockhurst Auctions, explained to The Post.
“So when someone buys the house, they’re going to get the whole trailer and the designs for putting back together.
“Whoever buys it can actually hire the person who took it apart to put it back together for them.”
When the home is put back together again, it's a simple three-bedroom, one-bathroom home with just 117 square metres of living space - a polar opposite to the sprawling Graceland, Presley's final home.
