It has been reported that
the Graceland mansion character is to remain despite a massive overhaul to the
Graceland complex in Memphis. There is no specific timetable according to Kevin
Kern, a spokesman for EPE Inc. In particular, plans to tear down the
128-room Heartbreak Hotel and replace it with an entertainment complex,
two 400-room hotels and restaurants, is still on the drawing board,
said Kern "Don't expect the shag carpeting in the Graceland mansion's Jungle Room
to be taken up and replaced with hardwood floors... Elvis
Presley's Graceland Mansion is a
national landmark. we will NOT be making any changes like that! You don't change a
national landmark,'' said Kern. "There's always the process of
maintaining a place, but that doesn't mean you have to make changes.
You clean it up. You trim the trees and change out plants, but you
don't change the house. Graceland mansion will always be like it was..."

The interior of the
Graceland Mansion was changed before it was open to
the public (see above) However,
Priscilla Presley only changed it back to what it looked like when she
lived there? It seems Ms Presley did not like Linda Thompson's
"red theme" interior (and
who could blame her) which was re-modeled
only 2 years before Elvis died. To give Thompson her dues,
Priscilla did keep the jungle room, poolroom the same. Graceland
