It is known mainly for its ornate wooden ceiling from the second half of the 17th century, which has been in the Hamburg History Museum since 1922.

In the Hamburg Museum it is reconstructed on 17 joists with a further 68 boards added.

The Baroque artwork includes putti and other figures in playful and bawdy acts.

Within the image, there are several jokes: it shows Cain and Abel, referring to an old Hamburg saying, that "The Grimm" is the oldest street in the world, because according to the Bible, Cain slew Abel "im Grimm" ("in a rage").

As with other houses from the late 17th Century, the portal and windows were almost equal elements of the facade.
