According to Della Corte, he thought the seat of the Collegium Aurificum may have been on the upper floor of VIII.3.9.
He deduced this by an electoral recommendation, mutual to all the neighbours, that was on the opposite external wall of the Building of Eumachia. 
This read -
Aurifices universi rog(ant)  [CIL IV 710]
From this graffito, Della Corte states the name of the “Via degli Orefici” was given to the street in some of the old bibliographies.
See Della Corte, M., 1965. Case ed Abitanti di Pompei. Napoli: Fausto Fiorentino. (p.229)
