Hi:
Years back I did an assignment on a gentleman who lived in the  central
Florida flatlands. His home was a large 2 story red-brick building  in
the middle of almost nothing and nowhere.

His name, Reverend James Webb. On the side of this huge, imposing
structure was painted "Heartbreak Hotel". He claimed it was the location
which inspired the famous Elvis song and his story certainly fit into
the Presley folklore.

Somewhere there are negatives showing the location in good detail,
complete with faded block letters. Will try to post in the future if I
can find them. Hmm, maybe I should look down at the end of lonely
street. :)
