According to Eschebach this shop would have been damaged by the 1943 bombing. She said it was excavated in 1804, and then restored in 1977.

In the left wall would have been a hole for a recess for a cupboard or podium, behind on the right was the stairs up to a pergula.

See Eschebach, L., 1993. Gebäudeverzeichnis und Stadtplan der antiken Stadt Pompeji. Köln: Böhlau. (p.234)

The east side of the main road (Via Consolare – House of the Vestals and House of the Surgeon) was excavated between 1770-1771, from here the excavators moved across to the west side of the roadway towards the two shops at VI.17.7 and 8. These would have been excavated c.1771.
