According to Jashemski, there had been a roofed building at this site at an earlier time.

She thought, probably after the earthquake, the site was cleared and made into a garden.

A window in the wall to the east of the street entrance had been blocked up.

I.21.3 Pompeii. September 2005. Looking west across triclinium. According to Jashemski, a masonry triclinium had been built against the west wall. A table base was still buried in the lapilli between the couches of the triclinium. See Jashemski, W. F., 1993. The Gardens of Pompeii, Volume II: Appendices. New York: Caratzas. (p. 70)

I.21.3 Pompeii. September 2005. In the west wall above the triclinium were three niches. The larger of the two arched niches had a roof tile forming a shelf that reached out into the garden: this niche was undoubtedly a lararium. The smaller and lower of the two arched niches may have held a lamp. The rectangular niche had the appearance of a window that had been only partially walled in. It too may have held a lamp.
