A plaque over the central window on the first floor commemorates that the playwright and theatre historian Thomas Overskou lived in the building as a child.

He initiated the construction of a tenement house at the site but had prior to its completion in 1798 already sold it to wigmaker Carl Christian Wegner for 8,500 rigsdaler.

The later playwright and theatre historian Thomas Overskou lived with his parents in one of the small apartments as a child from April 1806.

Hansen and a maid named Margrethe saved the property from the flames during the British bombardment on the night between 3 and 4 September 1807 by putting out 17 bombs and five fire arrows.

According to Thomas Overskou, who has described the events in his memoirs, the two people never fully recovered from the physical and psychological stress of the situation.
