Half a century ago, the printing industry was brought together in this district by the colonial government. Their reasoning was that it was easier for the government to oversee the industry, thereby preventing the publication of inflammatory documents. The building style, combining industry and accommodation, was quite characteristic. This business district was also the place where young people came to order their wedding cards.
