This house was carefully excavated and documented by Lloyd Daly in 1938, and the good state of preservation of both its architecture and the finds inside it make it an excellent example of the houses of Olynthos. This house was named "The House of Many Colours" because of the large quantity and variety of paintings on the walls and floor. The evidence indicates that this house suffered a fire that destroyed the west part and also reached the east part, though less severely.
