Graceland.com has started an interesting video series called Hidden Graceland. If you haven’t watched the first two installments, I recommend that you do. Very interesting stuff.
The above knick-knacks are decorations at the bar in the famous downstairs TV room. Let’s see if you can figure out in what room some other items can be found. Some will be easy, others will be impossible, but you will enjoy learning about them.
If you scroll down, you will learn that this lamp is located in the….

Office in Bedroom Suite
The desk is oriented differently in Elvis’ office in this schematic of Graceland’s upper floor. The oval in the bathroom shows where Elvis died. The room at the top is labelled Ginger’s dressing room, so this layout must have been drawn in 1976-77. Also, note that there are stairs going down to the front entrance and to the kitchen.

Raquet Ball Lounge
Note the piano. How many do you think there were at Graceland?
This should be easy.

Graceland Dining Room
The dining room wasn’t always this elegant. Check it out back in the early 60s with young Priscilla in view.
This may be a tough one.

Jungle Room (not sure where the steps go)
Here’s another interesting object found in the Jungle Room.
Not Photoshopped. She was really there, but not when Elvis was alive.
If you miss this, you haven’t taken the Graceland tour.

TV Room
Here’s a bonus picture of something else in the TV room.
Elvis’ Phonograph Records
This is one of the impossible ones I mentioned at the start.
It is in one of the storage rooms off the TV room.
It mostly stores Christmas decorations now, but back in the 70s, Charlie Hodge lived there for a while.
In the upper right, the room is marked Bodyguard’s Room. I see an adjacent bathroom with a toilet and sink. I wonder where Charlie showered.

Graceland Kitchen
How did you do on the Graceland Quiz? We may try this again. By my count, Elvis had three pianos in Graceland: the living room, the bedroom, and the racquetball lounge.
