General description of the space

Room W3 (ca. 6.70 × 5.00 m), the third room from the north in a series of rooms located west of the court of the House of Columns, was excavated by Wace and was initially considered part of the building. However, following Mylonas' excavations in the western area and the Artisans' Quarter, it was argued that these rooms did not belong to the House of Columns.
