The curtain ~ why?

[Vissie]

http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i1/052506/Miscellaneous/51e2d481.jpg

At the top of the stairs there is a blue curtain.

If the wall behind it is solid, like many other similar walls at Graceland, what is the purpose of the curtain? Why have it if it is merely covering a blank, solid wall? Why not just put up some photos instead? Or leave the wall blank?

The reason for the curtain eludes me :unsure:

[presley31]

I think its a mirror behind there but really l'am not sure

[Vissie]

I think its a mirror behind there but really l'am not sure

If there is a mirror behind there, it still doesn't make sense to cover it with massive drapery (imo).

[ksimms2]

let me check my Graceland photo's from June and see if it's same in those pictures....I'll post one if I can. Yes it's curtained off....not sure why? (my photo is too big to upload)

Ksimms2, I've never actually seen a photo of the top of the stairs without a curtain covering it :unsure:

[ksimms2]

yea mine shows the curtain too.....very interesting detective.

This photo is from circa 1974 ~ and it also shows a curtain at the top of the stairs :hmm:

Why?

[rocknroll]

Probably just some style thing Elvis was into.

[Getlo]

All the pics show a curtain.

I'd say it's just a design thing, and that a curtain would look better than a plain wall when walking up the stairs. A curtain doesn't necessarily have to be covering anything ...

I disagree (jmo). The curtain looks as if it's covering a misplaced window. I guess it was just a 'design thing' but, imo, it looks odd.

[ksimms2]

well, upstairs on the other side of the wall - is the stairs leading up from the jungle room....not sure what it would be hiding up there...may be just covering a wall....I agree about the decorative part of that....but guess we won't know unless someone has actually pulled aside the curtain to look.

[presley31]

I think priscilla told larry it was a mirror, please someone lets us know.

Presley, do you mean during this latest interview/tour she gave earlier this month?

[Getlo]

Presley, do you mean during this latest interview/tour she gave earlier this month?

If that's the case, remember she also agreed that Elvis wore sunglasses on stage - as if it was a regular occurrence. So I'd wait until someone actually pulls the curtain back before putting too much stock into what she has to say!

[Vissie]

I don't remember her saying there was a mirror there tho :unsure:

I don't remember her saying so either...I still have it saved though so can go back and watch again.....

Presley, it's quite possible! :blush: It's just that I don't remember if she did or not :unsure:

I am on topic, thank you. We're talking about what could possibly be behind the curtain. :mad:

Vissie may be right ... a window?

[elvis himselvis]

I think it's just a wall,and the curtain was just how he styled his house...

I think it's just a plain wall (?) :unsure:

does anybody have any pics without the curtain??

[Vissie]

I would love to see them too! (y)

She also said Hound Dog was on his first album......hehehehe

Yeah i agree.

Check this site with pictures of when Elvis lived there, to now..it still has a curtain then..

if you look at Linda's section - I can't tell whether there is a curtain there or not.....can you?

[Burning_Love]

No, Kelly, i was looking for it there for ages thinking "is it there ?" Lol :D I would like to know now, i am intrigued in this topic and like to see what others have come up with (y):mail:

[The King's Queen]

Hmmm... I'm not sure about this, so don't hold me to it...(LOL...old age setting in a little early!)...my memory is not too good, but I do recall hearing something about this curtain before. I am thinking that it is there for a specific reason, but I cannot remember what the reason it....??? I'm thinking maybe archetectural...but I'm not sure. If somebody knows for sure, please post....

I don't know for sure, but if I recall correctly, with interior decorating, that was the fashion, it was meant to give the illusion of opening up, for the person to wonder what was behind there, perhaps another room? (Or a fall, lol).

Could be wrong, lol.

[Dudcowboy_1]

Its a window there. If you look outside and you will see where there is a window where that curtin is. They have white shade behind that to keep sun out a little then with dark blue no one even knows there is light coming threw.

Love to all,
Tim Dudley

[ksimms2]

Oh Tim, thanks for posting that....strange to have a window there.

[TLC67]

It's either a window or small balcony. Gotta look thru my pics from our visit last year.
Hmmm...this is the back view. I guess it is the part sticking out and goes to the balcony?

[JDD]

There is a two way mirror directly facing the curtain on the other side of the stairwell. I was told it was installed so he could see who was coming up the stairs before they added monitors in the house.

[TLC67]

Here's another rear view. But my theory doesn't fit somehow.

[TLC67]

Hey! I found this on another post! (zoom in on the lower left corner) I knew something wasn't right. The part that sticks out is the dressing room off of his office. And you're right; there is a 2 way mirror there.

Stairway photos..

[n-gageboy]

I think this window is one from Lisa's bedroom. Or is it even a door? It's very strange, that there's no door leading to the sundeck from Lisas room. So you would have had to go downstairs into the din and go up again? Strange...
Here I got some other photos of Graceland when he still was alive

[vinceeverrette]

It's just a wall. The curtain was put up about 12 years ago because the wall behind the curtain is faded because of the flash photography. I know there is not supposed to be any flash photography, but most people think this is a great place to be told this at. Aside from that people were leaning into other display areas to try and get pictures down the hallways. Can't let him have one iota of privacy.

Susan, I've seen that floor plan before and it seems to have errors in it. For one, the stairwell to the outside sun deck is not shown. Also, I believe Lisa's bathroom is shown incorrectly.

Paint can withstand extreme temperature and light changes. I doubt it faded due to flash photography ;)

Ksimms, it's really difficult to determine exactly what is going on on the 2nd floor of Graceland :lol:

Look at these 2 floor plans ~ (they are purposely flipped and reversed so as to look from the back of the house)

See the arrows? One floor plan shows the "wall" as separating the stair landing from Ginger's dressing room. (Important to note: It does not show the wall as being solid). The other floor plan shows the "wall" as being predominantly exposed to the outdoor sun deck.

In my opinion, image 2 is more correct.

[rebby]

ooh, here's an idea! Maybe... just maybe its a secret government portal to a parallel universe!!! :) could be..... lol

This is the door leading to the kitchen. But its opened...

[elvis'girl]

I read some where that the wall is partly glass and and there is a bath room on the other side of the wall.And Elvis covered it with the curtin.

[n-gageboy]

Hey guys! I finally got the right answer!!
I asked a friend of mine who acutally lived in Graceland for a few years..

Behind the curtain is just a wall!
Thats what he said:
There's a wall behind the curtains and the other side of the wall and part
of Elvis' suite is the bathroom that was used by whatever female he was
with.

Greetings

not sure what you mean by this because during the Graceland Tour you cannot even go up the stairs, so no flash photography up there??? Sorry just a bit confused about that. :blink:

[Jailhouse-Rocker]

hmmmm a mystery! :lmfao: its the secret entrance to The Elvis Cave ... where he went to fight crime .... when he wasnt onstage ... failing this totally believable theory, it may just be a wall ....

LOL, I noticed your question to Marty Lacker on AEK, thanks for sharing here.

[presley31]

It just a wall then with no window?? I didn't think it was a window but l'am known to be wrong.

[Suzan]

The door on the left is not the den stairs, they are the stairs to the kitchen.:)
I've said what is behind the curtain, but some don't believe, so oh well.:D
I don't recall Pris addressing the curtain on Larry King or any other interview...though I very well could have missed that part.

[Suzan]

Yes indeed there is a spare bath up there.:D
K, so I was told 2 windows back there, I will let my source know no longer there.

[Elvistcbkirch]

Dear TLC67: I'm glad you yoused your eyes and looked at my graphic. And you are right. Behind the curtains is the wall to Ginger Aldens room. If there is a mirror or not behind the curtain, I'm not sure. Best regards, Martin.

[Elvistcbkirch]

Dear everybody. Vissie has made some good and critical observations here, but the truth is, that none of these floorplans are correct. The first one is absolutely false in anyway almost. The second is correct in the case of the stairway and Gingers room, but is incorrect showing a door between Lisa Maries room and Elvis' dressing room (there is no door). If you want to see the correct, look at my graphic. Best regards, Martin

[Elvistcbkirch]

Dear everybody: Good work by Priestly. Now we know, whats behind the curtain, and it makes good sense, remembering that Gingers room was added to the original building. Thats why there is a covered window. Many years ago, sunlight was shining through that window. Best regards, Martin

[riley]

they are right putting curtains there because it is ugly without them IMO

Nancy Rooks is proven wrong, she has stated that was glass there.

[riley]

isn't it glass, these are glass tiles, have exactly the same in my kitchen

If anyone must have known what it was it certainly was Nancy Rooks.
Ever wondered how many times a day she passed by those glass tiles????

[cameron]

They look like glass tiles to me.

[presley31]

They look like glass tiles to me.

my fault l misunderstood

NO I MEAN AT THE TOP OF THE STAIRS BEHIND THE CURTAIN.

BEHIND THE CURTAIN IS NOTHING BUT GLASS TILES

[Elvistcbkirch]

Its a window. Gingers room was added to the building. Best regards, Martin

[Getlo]

So, it's just a covered wall on the staircase, is it?

Hmmm, let's go back to August 31 ...


All the pics show a curtain.

I'd say it's just a design thing, and that a curtain would look better than a plain wall when walking up the stairs. A curtain doesn't necessarily have to be covering anything ...

;):):smoke:

[Getlo]

Nancy Rooks is proven wrong, she has stated that was glass there.

Presumably, the same Nancy Rooks who "wrote" about the cleanup on August 16th, 1977 ... ;)

[Elvis_Priestly]

They are glass bricks/blocks, probably a way of bringing light into the stairway, which would fit in with the rest of the house as the original owners also had glass brick walls where the peacock windows between the music room and living room were. And, until the peacock's arrived, they were kept covered with heavy drapes too.

On a side note anyone else think it strange that Elvis, who was so much into symbolism, charms etc., had peacocks indoors as they are suppossed to be bad luck inside?

[Johnny]

:hmm: perhaps he didn't know it posed bad luck to have them inside (does that extent to drawings and/or paintings of them too?), as I had no idea about that, thanks for sharing

[Suzan]

Thank you for validating what I've been saying the whole time and I posted as well (w/o the arrow) the pic w/the gap in the draperies showing part of the window and was basically called a liar and that my source was incorrect.
Again thank you for validating my statement from the get go.:D

[riley]

I remember indeed Sue you told here that there were glass tiles behind the curtain

[Suzan]

I remember indeed Sue you told here that there were glass tiles behind the curtain

Thank you friend! :D
Also This Is Elvis did film upstairs and about the button on Graceland's dining table. :) I so dislike being called a liar (not in so many words but that is what some implied.) Anyway, glad this matter was finally addressed once and for all.:)

[Stryx]

Found out whats behind the curtain.

On the other side of the wall it is split between a bathroom that Priscilla and the other girls used and a sundeck which is actually the roof above the Jungle Room.

There is a window in the bathroom that you can use to get out onto it, but apparently it was rarely used and Elvis did keep it covered like it is today.

[riley]

did they ever use the sundeck???

[Elvis_Priestly]

It was right in front of us all the time! In a floorplan of upstairs which I've had saved for ages it actually distinguishes the glass block wall behind the curtains. Part of the wall between the stairways and the back restroom.

As for the sundeck it was the result of the extension which resulted in the den behind the kitchen and was accessed by the stairway that runs up from the extreme right of the jungle room as you look at it from the kitchen. The doorway out onto it is shown on one of the photos here as well as the stairway from the jungle room.

I really think we're getting somewhere here! At least I'm understanding upstairs better! :p

[Suzan]

That's after the remodel yes.

Riley as I've said long time b4 regarding this and elvis priestly just reposted...the staircase in the jungle room leads to the sundeck, it has since been sealed. There is also access to it from Lisa's room (or there was)...I don't believe there is access anymore from the spare bath upstairs (from what I"ve been told).
I don't know if it was every used, I do believe maybe it was, but also may have been put there as a decorative thing when Elvis enclosed the porch for the den.
In bday video Pris is shown coming down those stairs (wrought iron at that time) so she may have been coming from the deck or quite possibly the bathroom?

[KPM]

Gee wiz, I wonder if Priscilla has seen whats behind the curtain?:D
IMO I'm sure she knows whats behind a curtain in a house she lived in for years.

[riley]

Yes I remember you explained it to me Sue and I understand it but I wanted still to know if someone knew if they really used the sundeck

[Stryx]

Yes I remember you explained it to me Sue and I understand it but I wanted still to know if someone knew if they really used the sundeck

The sundeck was used, but rarely.

You can get to it through a window in the bathroom.

[Suzan]

:D Riley.:)

I wonder why the door was sealed? The one from the den.

[KPM]

Nancy Rooks is proven wrong, she has stated that was glass there.
Glass tiles used to be used a lot to allow natural light into the house without it actually being a functional see thru window. Perhaps its that type tile?

[Suzan]

And at one time it was prior to Graceland remodel...look at old photos before the deck and other things were changed.
Glass tiles are a form of glass. :)

[presley31]

Glass tiles used to be used a lot to allow natural light into the house without it actually being a functional see thru window. Perhaps its that type tile?

different saying in states l guess, my mom had glasses tiles that didn't look like the ones at graceland, thats why l was confused. our glass tiles covered the whole wall.

[Suzan]

It depends on the look your going for...they also have large tiles, small tile's etc...

[Suzan]

At one time, prior to the peacocks that are now in the living room/music room, glass tiles there as well but were covered w/the curtains. :)

[presley31]

I'm sure it's only bad luck if the feathers are opened out.

[Unique Dog]

I think it`s a mirror behind the curtain. I will search through my old photos and see what I can find. I believe I have a photo of the wall uncovered, taken in the late 50s.

It's not a mirror.

There is a bathroom and a sundeck behind that wall.

[Diane]

It sounds to me like the glass tile window was there to let sun in before the bathroom and sundeck was added on by Elvis and instead of taking it out and putting in a solid wall, he just had it covered with a curtain. Glass tiles come in many sizes and shapes as Suzan stated. They can be huge glass blocks that are bumpy surfaced and some are thinner, smooth or frosted or beveled etc.

At one time, prior to the peacocks that are now in the living room/music room, glass tiles there as well but were covered w/the curtains. :)
What year were the peacocks put in??

Yup I remember those glass tiles in bathrooms as well. As far as the peacocks being bad luck and we've heard that before, we're in deep trouble, I raise them and we have paintings, sculptures etc. all over the house. :lol:

I dont know weather this visual will help, its only a 3d-sketch so far in my work of all of Graceland. But after all, it shows, that behind the tiled window is...Gingers bathroom.
