Olfert Fischers Gade traces its history back to Christian IV's foundation of Nyboder naval barracks in 1931 but different sections of it were then known under individual names.
Several of the buildings were built by a wealthy merchant named H. P. Lorentzens and the street was renamed Lorentzensgade in 1855.
[1] Sankt Pauls Gade is home to the only single-storey terrace that survives from Nyboder's earliest days.
At the eastern end of the terrace (towards Borgergade) is a short two-storey section known as the Factory Master's House (Fabriksmesterens Hus).
The corner building on the other side of Borgergade (Norgergade 140) is from 1854 and was probably designed by Peter Christoph Hagemann.
