Originating in the two-storey, half-timbered townhouse from before 1754, it owes its current appearance to a renovation in 1846.

Back in the 17th century, the site was part of Samuel Christoph von Plessen.

Incirca 1680, he constructed a mansion on the other side of the block, where Hotel Phoenix stands today.

A row of small lots on Store Kongensgade were later sold off as independent properties.

Jens Peter Petersen, a brick-layer, resided on the ground floor with his wife Anne Kirstine Løgstrup and one maid.

Anne Kirstine Hansen (née Dalhoff), another widow of a lackey, resided on the fourth floor with 28-year-old Caroline Marie Petersen and one maid.

a master plumber, resided in the basement with his wife Dorthea Olsen and their 19-year-old daughter.

The building's main entrance is located in the central bay towards Dronningens Rvæergade.
