Van's Stampede Ballroom 1500 Richmond Posted Saturday, August 22, 2009 08:24 PM Built in 1930 as a Weingarten's grocery store, Richmond Hall housed a series of bars, including, in its last incarnation, Van’s Stampede Ballroom, a country-and-western dance hall. Knowing that it would likely be demolished if purchased by a developer, the Menil Foundation acquired the building in 1985.

RE: Van's Stampede Ballroom 1500 Richmond Posted Sunday, August 23, 2009 03:35 PM Wow!!!!!!! "Another Blast from the Past". Spent many Saturday nights there with my 1st husband. Matter of fact, I still have one of those "Hurricance" glasses that I kind of took home with me one night, lol. That is where we went for my 21st birthday...I could legally get in. |
