Super fans of the King of Rock and Roll are being offered the unprecedented chance to actually live in one of Elvis Presley's childhood homes— in any city they choose.
The East Tupelo, Mississippi home originally located at 1241 Kelly Street is being put up for auction bywho, in a press release, called the opportunity to buy this home “an incredibly special and nearly unprecedented opportunity in the collecting world.” The almost 100-year-old house was meticulously dismantled in 2017 and then preserved so that the auction winner can eventually reassemble the building in any location of their choosing.
The home was constructed in the late 1920s by Noah Presley, the uncle of Elvis's father Vernon Presley. It was built for Noah's middle son Eack and features wide, cobalt blue plank siding with white-framed windows. The building was also originally located just around the corner from the home where Elvis was born, and he lived at 1241 Kelly Street with his parents as well from 1933 to 1944.
