Blank. Seating was given as 800. The Iowa Theatre closed sometime in the mid-1950’s.

The June 13, 1930, issue of The Film Daily said in an item datelined Fort Dodge that “Bruno Pierce is managing the new Iowa here, recently opened by the Rivola Co.”
This has been demolished. Just some cruddy little one story buildings now.
