The historic buildings that dot the art precinct of Kala Ghoda have many stories to tell — of the era they were built in, their architects and inter-generational residents. An oft-ignored window into this treasure trove is the building signage that is usually as old as the structure itself. More than merely a collection of letters, the signage is a reflection of the cultural, linguistic and design decisions that went into making it, and also the people it catered to.
