St. Louis, MO: St. Louis Civil War Ball
Dancers at the 2013 National Blue Grey Ball held at the historic Mahler Ballroom in St. Louis, MO.
Joy Melcher’s CivilWarLady.net presented the St. Louis Civil War Ball on Saturday, April 1, 2017.
In 1860, Albert Mahler opened a dance academy in St. Louis at 3rd and Pine Streets near the present-day Arch. In 1907, Albert built a combined ballroom and family home on Washington Avenue. Thirty-six of the women who were chosen Veiled Prophet Queen have been dance pupils at the Mahler Ballroom. The hard rock maple dance floor is lovely, and there is a full balcony to observe dances on the floor below.
