193 in Christianshavn Quarter and was at that time owned by overkrigskommisær Alexander Walker Ross and Jonas Collin.

It was later acquired by Alexander Walker Ross and Jonas Collin and used for the establishment of a clay pipe factory.

[3] Located to the rear of the new building, the foundry manufactured "iron pots in all shapes" as well as everything from nails and bullets to ship anchors.

[4] In 1790, Potter sold the house to a royal mecanicus, Andrew Mitchell, who established a button factory in the building.

He died later that same year and the property was then owned by his widow Marie Dorothea Neumann (1770–1843) until it was ceded to Copenhagen Fire Insurance (Kjøbenhavns Brandforsikring) in 1823–1824.

[7] Ig Thomsen Christensen, a merchant trading in Iceland, resided on the first floor with his wife Jensine Menulendra (née Abel), their 14-year-old foster daughter Ane Chathrine Jørgensen and one maid.

After the property was acquired by Ulf Brøste (1904–1970), a grocer, he brought his local historic collection of artifacts, images and archeological finds from Christianshavn, and displayed them in the building.

[4] Most of the Brøste Collection was later transferred to Frieboeshvile while some artifacts were donated to Christianshavn Local Historic Society and Archives.

[10] A statue of Christian IV by William Fredericia used to be seen in a niche in the building but was removed when the company P. Brøste closed in the 1990s and has now been installed in an auditorium at Christianshavn Gymnasium.

[11] The Brøste House is designed in the Neoclassical style and consists of eight bays towards the canal under a black mansard roof.
