January 22, 2012 A Pool for Elvis

Spence Manor sits right across the street from the Country Music Hall of Fame, in Tennessee. During its heyday, it was a hotel of suites where Elvis Priestly (sic) liked to stay when he was in Tennessee recording music.

In order to attract more visitors, the owner decided to build this guitar-shaped swimming pool.

The hotel is now a complex of condominiums and the residents still enjoy taking a dip in the pool now and again. The pool remains an attraction and from time to time it still gets a part in a movie.

The architecture of the pool is perfect. It has such wonderful detail as the chords and the round opening in the guitar that are painted in black at the bottom of the swimming pool to look just like a guitar when seen from above.

More interesting architecture and home design details at Homedit.
