The July 26, 1932 Film Daily has this item: “Buffalo Center — New Iowa, sold to H. M. Johnson by R. M. Enders.” The house was double listed as both the New Iowa and the Regent in the 1931 FDY. Buffalo Center had not been listed at all in the 1930 FDY.

The house became merely the Iowa Theatre in its later years. The October 30, 1954 issue of Boxoffice said that Charles Recker had celebrated his 20th year running the Iowa Theatre at Buffalo Center on October 12, which was also his birthday.

The historical address was 129 5th St, at least until the 1940s
