“Elvis Pressley
On March 23, 1956, Elvis gave his first and only performance in the District of Columbia at Pier 4 on the S.S. Mount Vernon, a cruise steamer operated by the Wilson Line.”

Presley was one of many entertainment personalities who made stops at the Connecticut Avenue broadcasting complex.”
