See Warscher, T, 1935: Codex Topographicus Pompejanus, Regio I, 3: (no.56), Rome, DAIR, whose copyright it remains.  
According to Warscher, the walls of houses I.3.25 and 24 merited a special study since they represented examples of almost every kind of masonry known in Pompeii from the earliest to the latest. The various types of window also deserved attention.

I.3.25 Pompeii. December 2006. Looking west across 3-sided pseudoperistyle to garden area. According to Schefold, on the south-west corner pillar there was a painting of a flying Isis Fortuna with a horn of plenty and a globe. See Schefold, K., 1957. Die Wände Pompejis. Berlin: De Gruyter. (p. 13).
According to Trendelenburg, this small rectangular peristyle was open to the west side onto a small garden area. The other three sides were surrounded by a low podium of material, on which rested four brick columns, originally faced with coloured stucco. The peristyle was being restored at the time of the catastrophe in 79AD. The podium on the left side ended with a large pilaster. This surviving pilaster, on a background of red stucco, showed a different type of female flying figure (height I.15m). She was naked, except for a transparent yellow mantle, covering her from her breast to her knees. In her right hand she held a wreath or crown of laurel, in her left was a cornucopia. At her feet was a globe.
See Trendelenburg in BdI 1871 (p.173) 
According to Sogliano, Nike (Victory) with a yellow transparent veil painted on a red background, was found on the corner pilaster in the south-west corner of the peristyle.

I.3.25 Pompeii. 1935 photograph taken by Tatiana Warscher of a reproduction of a watercolour belonging to DAIR.  Nike (Victory) with yellow transparent wings, on a red background, found on the south-west pilaster of the peristyle. According to Warscher, on a clear day you could still see some traces of this fresco, which if it had been removed, it would be one of the most interesting paintings of the National Museum. Warscher stated that Fiorelli made a mistake in his description of the location of the finding of this painting.
She said the mistake by Fiorelli had been observed by Sogliano and Mau, and that the German Institute had an example of “Descrizione” by Fiorelli, with points and corrections by Mau.

I.3.25 Pompeii. December 2006. Looking north-east, across garden area towards exedra or large triclinium. The large room had a window overlooking the garden area. It was not decorated, but perhaps the paintings had fallen together with the plaster from the walls, or perhaps also here the new restorations were not complete.
