Dolon's Post

Kolkata’s Art Deco homes tell a story of aspiration, migration, and modern living in post-Independence Bengal. From semi-circular or curved balconies, central glass panels to sunrise motifs on gates and grilles, stylized florals, and abstract geometric designs, 1940s–60s houses of South Kolkata reflect a time when privacy, functionality, and modern design reshaped the city’s neighbourhoods. Thank you to @calcuttaheritagecollective for conducting this insightful Art Deco walk and starting important conversations around conservation and awareness.
