Room 5

Context Title: Room 5     
Context Name (Publication): Room 51     
Context Description: Room 5 was (like the staircase site) originally part of No. 1 Old Street and had in its NW wall a door communicating with the central court of that house; this had been later blocked with a wall of burnt brick below and mud brick above, built to match the old wall of the court. Part of the NE wall was also old, but onto the end of that had been built a new section which, after the jamb of the staircase door, changed its angle so as to conform with the lines of the new court; the SW wall was old. The room was brick-paved and had a drain in its floor at the NW end. Judging by its position, this was the guest-room, but it was unusual in having, at its SE end, a door leading to another fair-sized room.2
