The Dreamland Theatre was opened on September 27, 1907. This small theatre appears on the 1910 Sanborn, on the ground floor of a three-story brick structure constructed sometime between 1886 and 1894, and which had originally housed a hardware store. A wooden shed at the rear housed the gas engine and dynamo used to power the operation.
The Dreamland Theatre was still open in 1914-1915 but was less successful than the other small downtown operations. In early-May 1915 it was briefly renamed Lyric Theatre, but closed in late-May 1915. By 1926 the building was again used as retail. The structure remains on the 1955 map, but was demolished some time ago, and the site is now a rather desolate little park.
