Krueger’s Haymow was described as “a block or so off Highway 100 at South Robert Street, West St. Paul.”    Clues to this location are:

• It was described as “past the Corral Drive In.”  The present address of the site of the old Corral Drive-In is listed as 1300 Mendota Road E, Inver Grove Heights, which in 2022 is a Home Depot.
• Also, in the 1950s, “Highway 100” was a patchwork of existing roads that the Highway Department touted as the Beltline, before 494/694 were built.  The present Highway 62 was likely renamed Highway 100 during this period.

Liner notes from a polka album recorded at the Haymow in 1965 say that the “unpretentious if not austere edifice” was converted from a barn into a dancehall by its owner, Carl Krueger in 1934.  However, Carl may have been second generation by 1965; in the obituary of Mrs. Louise Krueger in 1957, it was stated that she had been the owner and manager, and that she was survived by two sons, Gust and Carl.  (Minneapolis Tribune, March 7, 1957)

The book Joined at the Hip says that this was the site of some rhythm and blues dances in 1952 – 1953, featuring Percy Hughes and His Orchestra.  This is bolstered by two ads found in the Minneapolis Spokesman, a weekly newspaper serving the black community.  They are a little difficult to read:

The ad below is for a “Cameo Memorial Eve Cabaret Dance,” held by the Cameo Social Club, on May 29, 1953.  Music would be provided by Brown Buddy’s Swingsters.

Minneapolis Spokesman, May 29, 1953

In the same issue was an ad for another dance two days later, featuring the popular Oscar Frazier and Combo.

The last entry in the Minneapolis papers was on September 11, 1962, in the Tribune.
