Except all we know is that:

1) It was in a market area.

2) It was well built.

3) It had cubby holes that probably held scrolls.

That's all. The rest is speculation.

That's all we have from digging up most historical buildings. People build careers on determining a building's use based on things like door width and wall thickness.
