Elvis Bought A Mansion For His Family
Within the first year of his success, Elvis was able to purchase a mansion. He kept the estate’s name, Graceland, which had actually been named for the previous owner’s daughter, Grace, and invited his mother and father, Gladys and Vernon, to move in with him.
Elvis’s family was very important to him. He even gave his parents the master bedroom to ensure that they had the most comfortable accommodations in the house. Gladys decided to decorate the room in purple, her favorite color, and the decor hasn’t been changed since.
