The building was designed by architects J. Campbell and G. E. Gosling, for the Scott McClelland and Company, at a cost of Rs. 125,000. David Sassoon donated Rs. 60,000, while the rest was borne by the Government of Bombay Presidency.
The Sassoon family name resonates with several city landmarks, from a library (David Sassoon Reading Room) to a dock (Sassoon Dock), and the Dr Bhau Daji Lad Museum, to which they made contributions. David Sassoon's palatial home in Byculla — Sans Soucci, is where Masina Hospital operates from today.
