Problem with the Century was it was located in the middle of a flood plain so kept getting flooded. The last time it got flooded was 1998 and never reopened.
20th Century Bowling was/is located at 505 South Duff, presumably next door – to the North of this 509 South Duff site. Apparently the building was demolished, but the sign was left standing.
Looks like it opened in the late 1960s or possibly early 1970s.
The address listed in the newspaper article is 509 South Duff Avenue.
An old photo and a newspaper article about the opening of the Century Cinema in Ames can be seen at this website.
