- The house is 300 square feet in size and was built by Vernon Presley, with the help of his brother and father, in 1934.

- Vernon borrowed $180 from his employer, Mr. Orville Bean, to build the house.

- The furnishings in the house are what they would have looked like when the Presleys lived there, but people have donated items to help recreate the look.

- The only item that the Presleys took with them when they moved to Memphis was an ice box.

- Elvis Presley was born in the front room of the house, and his stillborn twin brother, Jesse, was also born there.

- Vernon Presley was convicted of check forgery and sentenced to three years in prison, during which time Gladys and Elvis lived with relatives.

- Gladys Presley went around getting petitions signed to help get Vernon out of prison early.
