For 16 years, Friends of Dreamland has been raising money to restore the historic Dreamland Ballroom at 800 W. 9th Street in downtown Little Rock. The elevator is in. The ballroom is open. The stage is restored.
Now we're paving the way - literally.
Buy an inscribed brick and your name becomes part of the sidewalk surrounding Taborian Hall. A permanent mark on a 100-year-old building that the Black community of Arkansas built from the ground up. People have inscribed the names of family members, loved ones who grew up on The Line, businesses, organizations, and yes - the occasional wacky phrase. "Put on your big girl panties and deal with it!" is already out there in the sidewalk. Why not?

About Elevated Donor Donation
In 1918, the Knights and Daughters of Tabor completed construction of the Taborian Hall and Dreamland Ballroom. Marble bricks were inlaid into the wall of the front portico that displayed the other temples and tabernacles across Arkansas honoring their support of the new headquarters in Little Rock. Friends of Dreamland continues this tradition by honoring its donors, the modern-day supporters of the Taborian Hall, with bricks that are set into the building’s sidewalks.
In addition, Elevated Donors will have their names inscribed on a honorary plaque in the vestibule of the new elevator addition. This closely mimics the marble brick design in the portico of the original building.
Thank you for your support!!

Why It Matters
In 1918, the Knights and Daughters of Tabor completed Taborian Hall and inlaid marble bricks into the front portico honoring the temples and tabernacles across Arkansas that supported their new headquarters. Friends of Dreamland carries that tradition forward - honoring the people who believe in this building today the same way the Tabors honored their supporters over a century ago.
