This Danceland was located at 1515 W. University Ave. in the Midway district of St. Paul.  Blink and you would have missed it.

A search for the address shows that the building was the Midway Service Garage, owned by Robert K. Vitrud, in 1922/1923.

In 1929 it was the home of the Anderson Motor Company, selling cars.

A want ad-type entry announced the Grand Opening of Dance-Land on March 8, 1940, with music by Slim Jim and the Jolly Millers.  On March 10, 1940, Sev Olson and His NBC Orchestra were slated to provide the entertainment.

A curious gap, and then another opening on September 14, 1940, this time with a bigger ad.  Ads were more or less continuous until the last one on March 26, 1941.  Alas, a dance hall in a car lot failed to draw the dancers.

The building reverted to cars; a June 25, 1941, ad shows that it became a Pontiac dealer.  But that ad gives us a picture of the building, at least.
