Gainsboro; Washington Park; Dreamland; St. Andrew's Catholic Church; David Ramey.

Drawing of Dreamland at Washington Park. There is a large green space that is partly fenced in. Within the fenced in area is a wooden building, likely the Dance Hall, where people can be seen inside the window. "CockCola" and "PepsiCola" are written on the side of the building, along with an image of a drink bottle. There is a pool in front of this building, with people standing around it and swimming. Behind the building is a ferris wheel with people riding on it. There is also a merry-go-round and other fair rides. There are many people outside engaged in various activities. Some people can be seen holding balloons, and there is a large quantity of balloons in the foreground. Houses can be seen in the background, as well as a large church, likely St. Andrew's Catholic Church. A plane flys above in the sky. A light pole extends off the page on the right side, as does a sign that reads "Welcome to Dreamland". "Dream Land 1946" is written on the bottom right corner. Signed by artist and dated 1991.
