While the details are still coming together, the third phase of construction in the Dreamland Ballroom is moving along. Slowly but surely. Rendered here is a preliminary look at the ballroom to come. The reimagined stage apron complete with Dreamland’s iconic diamond pattern, restored plaster pieces around the stage proscenium, a new stage curtain, the historically accurate pendent house lighting, and bronze ceiling tiles that will be blended into the old, rustic tins.

Don’t worry, this rendering is a little “clearer” then the ballroom of our Dreams. We won’t be losing those characteristically distressed walls and surfaces or the exposed brick. These precious signs of age that tell the full story of the ballroom’s former grandeur and systemic neglect aren’t going anywhere.
