Empress Court stands as a prominent street corner building at the junction of Maharshi Karve Road and Dinshaw Vacha Road, facing the Oval Maidan. Built in nineteen thirty-six, this Art Deco apartment house features a streamlined façade with horizontal bands and stacked, cantilevered balconies that mimic the aesthetic of a steamer ship. Its reinforced cement concrete frame and curved contours reflect the shift toward modern, cosmopolitan design that defined Bombay during the nineteen thirties.
