History:
Used as a club house or guildhall. Dedicated by the Naxians to Apollo. This building replaced an earlier three-aisled hall of the 7th century B.C, which had an entrance on the north. Coulton and Dinsmoor claim an Ionic inner colonnade, Zaphiropoulou believes it was Doric. The prostyle porch on the east was a later addition.
