Building II did not communicate easily with Building I, to the south. The general plan of this construction, which is in a very poor state of preservation, has been determined by the limits of the foundation apron, a rectangle measuring 44 m by 39 m. Note that this apron was reduced to 0.30-m thick in the middle, where it covered a drain on the site of a large tiled courtyard measuring 25.80 x 18.90 m and covering almost one third of the surface area. The built sections were therefore lesser on the north and eastern sides.
Judging by the few wall elements left in the southeast section, these constructions must have featured three rows of rooms to the east and doubtless only two to the north. The southern part was occupied by a small portico with two square-based columns (reconstructed length 0.92 m), for which scattered fragments marked with the Artaxerxes II A2Sd inscription have been found. Through two small symmetrical corner rooms, this portico created an indirect communication leading to Buildings I and III respectively.
The absence of any construction in elevation makes it impossible to determine what the function of this building was. The layout of the large courtyard, which was overlooked by two main buildings, evokes either living quarters or storage quarters, as in certain parts of the Treasury of Persepolis.
