The main courtyard of the Dar Uthman was planted with a small garden. Galleries ran along the north-east and south west ends. This picture shows the south west gallery (click on it for more detail) and the niche containing a drinking fountain (click on it for more detail).

The niche in the eastern wall of the garden contained a drinking fountain set inside a smaller niche.
