It has been suggested that the architect was Lauritz de Thurah since he has signed an estimate of needed materials but this has been questioned (see below).

The property was marked on Christian Gedde's district map of St. Ann's East Quarter from 1757 as No.

[3] Arnold Tønder, a regiment quartermaster and military precesutor at the Zealand Hunters Corps, resided on the ground floor with his wife Charlotte Tønder (née Adler), their four children (aged two to six), one male servant and two maids.

[8] Erik Leganger Weyhe, an army major on paid stand-by (ventepenge), resided on the second floor of the side wing with his wife Bothilde Christine Weyhe (née Thal), their five children (aged 14 to 28) and one maid.

[13] The Titken House is built to a simple Baroque style design and consists of three storeys over a high cellar.

The 11 bay long façade on Bredgade is only broken up by a three-bay median risalit tipped by a low triangular pediment.

In their book Danmarks Arkitektur, Byens huse-byens plan, Sys Hartmann and Villads Villadsen question the assumption that the building was designed by Lauritz de Thurah.

They find it unlikely that he would have followed Eigtved's guidelines for buildings in Frederiksstaden to the extent that is the case and with such a meager result.

They describe the 11-bay facade on Bredgade as monotonous and the median risalit with its triangular pediment as " crabbed".

The two-bay triangular pediment on Fredericiagade is described as notoriously disharmonic and the roof that continues all the way down to the too tall windows is compared to "a hat pulled all the way down to the eye brows".

Hartmann and Villadsen concludes that the façade may have been designed by some of Eigtved's associates after his death in 1754 and that Lauritz de Thurah may just have approved them.
