Some listings from the St. Louis City Directories:
3352/54 Iowa was the address of the “Cinderella Dance Academy” in 1930. In 1936 it was called “Cinderella Dance Palace”, presumably printed to late to list the new name Kawell and Burian gave it in September of 1935. However in 1938 and 1939 it shows up as Casa Loma
Dance Hall for the first time. Also, for the first time in 1939, 3352 Iowa was also the home of “New Cinderella Recreation Bowling Alley”. There was a bowling alley beneath the Casa Loma Ballroom the night it burned based on newspaper accounts (Jan 1940). Casa Loma Ballroom appeared in the directories in 1940 and 1941. In 1942 it was once again listed as Casa Loma Ballroom at 3352 Iowa.
Also of interest is that fact that there was, in 1924, a “New Cherokee Theater” at 2710 Cherokee, and a “Cinderella Airdome” at 2727 Cherokee. 1924 was also the first year a “Cinderella
Theater” was located at 2735 Cherokee (listed the same in 1924, 1925, 1930, 1936, 1938, 1939, 1942).
The Cinderella Bldg (which included the “Cinderella Hall” plus numerous other businesses) was listed at 2733 a Cherokee from 1924, 1925, 1930, 1936, 1938, 1939, 1940, 1941, 1942. This is the same building that still exists, just west of the Casa Loma Ballroom.
