Gainsboro; Royal Garden; David Ramey.

Interior of the Royal Gardens Dance Hall. It is a large wooden building with an open interior where many people can be seen dancing and talking. On the left are screened windows. There are people looking into the dance hall from these windows. Above the windows are two signs, one reads "Swimming Classes 35c Day/Regular 25", and the other reads "CoakCola Ice Cold". There are balloons on the ceiling. On the back wall is a large, stylized sign that says "Royal Garden". There are speakers in the corners. On the right side is a jukebox and a small counter. A man in a white apron stands behind the counter talking to a man in orange. There is a "Coakola" sign above the stand, as well as a sign that says "Chips, 5", and one that says "Dill 10 Pickel". There is a rack of chip bags behind the counter and a pickle jar, as well as other presumably food items. The side of the counter has a sign that says "Swim Suits Only". Behind the counter is another sign, more difficult to read, that says "Silas Green [?] May-15th". "Royal Garden '57" is written on the bottom right corner. Signed by artist and dated 1995.
