This airdome appears on the 1922 map, on what was a vacant lot in 1911. Although the small building in front of it did appear on the 1911 map, it seems to have been unrelated.
This was a very simple structure, and the fenced area was an irregular shape. It was surely demolished long ago. The address is a guess. This would have been about where the northern section of the Quonset Huts are today.

The only early mention of a theater in Troy I’ve been able to find in the trade journals is on a list of exhibitors recently visiting Kansas City, from the January 1, 1927 issue of Moving Picture World, which includes “C. W. Norman, Leland Theatre, Troy, Kas.” This was not the Airdome, as the 1914-1915 American Motion Picture Directory lists a Leland Opera House at Troy, which is also listed in FDYs in 1926 and 1929. This appears to have been Troy’s main movie theater of the period. In 1950 Troy had a house called the LaBelle Theatre, mentioned in the April 8 issue of Boxoffice, and I don’t think it was an aka for the Opera House.
I had asked about the Leland, but not heard back. I’ll create a listing. I have a lousy picture from a very gray day.
