| Photographer | Glenn S. Hensley | |
| Date | 1944 | |
| Subject | war-ready; building; business district; commerce | |
| Notes | "Blast walls show as well as the hand-spattered paint on building walls, an attempt to tone down their brightness during black-out periods. This is in Calcutta's central business district, but I do not know the name of the buildings or the exact location. The evidence of an accidental fire still shows on the ground level of the tallest structure." | |
