Room function:

Commercial space (Hospitality)

Description:

Located in the north wall of the commercial space was an arched niche, which Boyce noted as being "too ruinous to for measurement." However, a photograph from 1935 indicated that the interior was coated in white stucco. It appears that the niche likely originally had a projecting base and that the wall below the niche was painted,. The niche does not survive today.
