The layout of this house dates back to the 2nd century BC, however, following the earthquake, it was transformed into a bakery during the renovations carried out in 62 AD, by adapting the rooms on the ground floor to production rooms, while the owners probably lived on the upper floor.

The baking business was very profitable, as evidenced by over 30 bakeries known so far
in Pompeii. Besides the set up of a large oven
for baking bread at the back of the house, the renovation of the building transformed the peristylium into a paved room intended to house four huge lava millstones to grind grain and water basins to wash it. The milling machines were operated by slaves or donkeys, who pushed the wooden beams inserted sideways into the upper piece. An entire skeleton of a donkey was found in the stable, next to the peristylium.

Date of excavation: 1809-1810.
