The David Sassoon Library and Reading Room is a Grade I heritage building located at Kala Ghoda in Mumbai’s fort precinct. The vision of this conservation plan is to conserve one of the oldest libraries in the city. Built in coarse basalt with the accentuating features like the mouldings, and cornices in limestone with a distinctive character, the building transforms as a museum and cultural venue welcoming all during the 9 days of Kala Ghoda arts festival. The works include holistic conservation plan, façade restoration, interior up-gradation and re-erection of a sloping roof above the main reading room which was demolished at some point in history.
