It is part of a row of adjoining buildings constructed at the site by master builder Andreas Hallander in the 1780s but owes its current appearance to an adaptation most likely undertaken by Jørgen Henrich Rawert in 1801.

He embarked on the construction later the same year but ran into economic difficulties and eventually had to give them up altogether.

Andreas Hallander and Johan Martin Quist, two of his former students, saved him from bankruptcy by acquiring the Amaliegade lots.

Boheman, who was a personal friend of Andreas Peter Bernstorff, was already the owner of the country house Frydenlund.

Their son, Martinus Rørbye, enrolled at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in 1820.

[6] Anders Svenssen, a beer seller (øltapper), resided in the basement with his wife Birgitte Kirstine Kolbert, their six children (aged two to 11), a male servant and a maid.

[7] Johan Christian Brun, Rørbye's concierge, resided in the building with his wife Ellen Bruun, their three children (aged seven to 11) and one maid.

[10] Countess Juel Wind Friis (1795–1861), widow of Karl Ludvig, Count Krag-Juel-Vind-Frijs of Juellinge (1780–1838), resided in the ground floor apartment with a chambermaid (kammerjomfru), a maid and a servant.

[11] Anders Svendsen Luntofte, the proprietor of the tavern in the basement, resided in the associated dwelling with his wife Bergitte Christine Kolberg and their eight children (aged one to 16).

[13] Fredrik Adolph Wedelfeldt, a colonel working in the Danish Admiralty, resided in the building with his wife Christina Elisabeth Jørgensen, their four children (aged 10 to 21), a maid and three male servants.

[14] Johan Michael Andreas Müller (1805–1881), customs inspector in Copenhagen, resided in another apartment with his wife Charlotte Sophie Thora Meyer (1805–1868), their six children (aged one to 12) and two maids.

Petter Jensen, the proprietor of a tavern, resided in the building with his wife Hanne Heriette née Leder, their five children (aged two to 12) and one maid.

He operated his combined ship chandler business and colonial goods shop in one of the rear wings.

The cellar entrance and ground storey window in the northern corner risalit is placed in a shallow, arched niche to create an impression of symmetry.

[18] The interior walls of the gateway are decorated with pilasters and relief medallions with motifs by Bertel Thorvaldsen.

[19] A plaque on the building commemorates Helmuth Neumann (1911–1944) who was killed at the site during World War II.
