According to PPM –
“In the
south-west corner of the atrium, the decoration remained in I Style only above
the doorway to VI.14.13 in the south wall.
On the
west wall of the atrium, it had been restored in III Style, with the middle
zone of the wall painted red, a yellow frieze and violet with remains of a
human figure.”

According to Jashemski, the garden at the rear of the house was excavated in 1874, without a tablinum.

The two rooms on the west and east sides of the garden, each had a window overlooking it.
