Also referred as "House with lead ingots" for the large argentiferous lead ingots discovered here it is linked to the Queen Mother by a tablet found here. It shows the usual domestic architecture of ugaritic houses but on a larger scale. The northern part has eroded away and only from the southern part we could determine its structure. It has a courtyard, a columned porch, a tomb, storage areas and probably the living area was located in the upper floor accessed by a stairway near the main entrance.
