Built in 1949 by the Punja family, this used to be the Sun and Sands Hotel. Currently a fetching shade of NHC coral pink and inhabited by Selander Bridge Police, it is a stunning landmark of Dar.

A huge thankyou to all you wondrous folk who have been so enthusiastic about the Street Level book in all sorts of different ways. And fear not, this is not the end of the project – other plans are already afoot and the drawings will continue as long as there are wonderfully dar scenes to draw… like this lovely collection of building styles on Indira Ghandi street.

i’m not joking
