Silver Dome Ballroom

The Silver Dome Ballroom is listed in the National and State Registers of Historic Places for its unique architecture and its rich entertainment history. Built during the Great Depression and operating since 1933, the Silver Dome features many original or long-time decorations and fixtures, a floating maple dance floor, and a beautiful, arching Lamella truss design. The ballroom was originally owned by brothers Al, Paul, Walter and Herb Keller. It was designed in the Modern Movement architecture style. The German patent for the unique arch style roof was purchased for a $1,000 royalty fee. It is thought that the ballroom is the only one of its kind in the United States.

Many famous entertainers have appeared at the Silver Dome, including: Count Basie, Duke Ellington, The Grassroots, Tommy James & The Shondells, Herman’s Hermits, George Jones, Pee Wee King, Johnny Paycheck, and Six Fat Dutchman.

Entertainers continue to be featured at the Silver Dome; check the website for details.
