I just wanted to know if the swing on the veranda of the Tupelo House was originally there when Elvis lived in it.

I have heard not only the swing was added but the whole house is not the real one.
I visited the house last year and sat on the swing, but I didn't know for sure if this was there when Elvis lived in the house. Somehow my photos don't seem the same now that I know it was added after.Originally Posted by stefankoch
I know the furniture inside the house isn't original, but I always thought the actual building was the real thing. Did you hear anything about the house being rebuilt - I'd be interested to know this.I have heard not only the swing was added but the whole house is not the real one.
What was told to me when i was there was that the roof was not the real one anymore.I have heard not only the swing was added but the whole house is not the real one.

I don't mind if they changed the roof as this is something a lot of people do anyway. I never thought for one minute that the actual house wasn't the original - I never heard this before - it makes more sense that it is just the roof that was changed.
I did hear that he visited his birthplace but I didn't know that it was 2 days before he died - can't help wondering if he sensed something was going to happen and this is why he wanted to see his home again.
