A plaque on the facade commemorates the fact that Peter Faber was a resident in the building when he wrote Højt fra træets grønne top [da] in 1847.

Other notable former residents include the landscape painter Thorald Læsøe, printmaker Søren Henrik Petersen (1788-1860), historian Caspar Frederik Wegener and illustrator Peter Christian Klæstrup.

The house was put at the disposal of Balthasar Gebhard von Obelitz, a professor of law, Supreme Court justice and the university's rector in 1776–77.

He lived there with his wife Christiane Birgitte Gaarder, two sons from his first marriage (aged 15 and 24), his wife's sister Anne Sophie Gaarder, his youngest son's tutor (hofmester) Jens Worm Begtrup, a male servant, a caretaker, a housekeeper, a female cook and three maids at the time of the 1787 census.

35 was at some point acquired by master mason Christian Aagaard and subsequently divided into two separate properties, from then on referred to as No.

[4] Aagaard may have sold the property to Herman Boalth (1801–1834), an official in the Danish Chancery, born in Tranquebar.

Louise Boalth resided on the ground floor to the right with her three children (aged six to 12), her sister Nielsine Du Pay, one male servant and one maid.

[9] Christian Aabye, a captain and adjudant in the Kongens Livjægerkorps [da], resided on the second floor to the right with his wife Ane Margaretha Lindeman, their four children (aged 15 to 21) and one maid.

In 1847, he wrote Højt fra træets grønne top as part of the preparations for celebrating Christmas Eve in his parents' home at Gråbrødretorv 21.

The plastered, white-painted facade features a belt course above the ground floor, wide corner lesenes and a modillioned cornice.

It is finished with shadow joints on the ground floor and on the lesenes in the full height of the building.

The arched main entrance in Store Kannikestræde is accented with a Neoclassical portal, with pilasters and a dentillated triangular pediment.

The pitched, red tile roof features a number of dormer windows towards both streets.
