It originates in a two-storey townhouse from 1746 which belonged to the businessman and bank manager Rasmus Kirketerp from at least the 1790s and remained in the hands of the family until at least the early 1850s.

The present building contains an ice cream parlour with homemade waffles in the basement and two residential apartments on each of the upper floors.

Niels and Erlandsine Kirketerp resided on the first floor with their five children (aged three to 16), husjomfru Elise Christ.

[5] The 53-year-old Sidsel Magrete Kirketerp (needlework) resided on the ground floor with the 25-year-old clerk Rasmus J. Wandel and two maids.

The lack of other residents on the upper floors could indicate that the building was used as a hostel (or missing census records).

Charles Emil Hvilsom, a grocer (urtekræmmer), resided in the basement with his employee Carl Johan Borelli.

[17] Vaffelbageren, an ice cream parlour with homemade waffles, has been located in the high basement since 1953.
