March 8th in Elvis History

It's March eighth, and on this day in 1967... Elvis and Priscilla were vacationing in Palm Springs when they decided to go house hunting. They settled on a Spanish-style estate in the Movie Colony neighborhood, once owned by Marjorie McDonald, heiress to the McDonald's burger fortune. The 15-room home featured vaulted ceilings, nine bathrooms, maid’s quarters, a pool, and a twelve-person Jacuzzi—set among lava rocks and palm trees. Elvis paid \$85,000 for the three-bedroom home, and after extensive renovations that added another bedroom and seven more baths, the total cost ballooned to \$250,000.
