The site was initially part of a larger property which continued all the way to Ny Toldbodgade on the other side of the block. In the cadastre of 1756, it was listed as No. 61 N in St. Ann's East Quarter (Sankt Annæ Øster Kvarter). It was by then owned by Peder Gøe. On Christian Gedde's map of St. Ann's East Quarter from 1757, the property was marked as No. 321.

The still undeveloped property was in 1768 acquired by Andreas Pfützner (1741-1793), He had back in 1876 been appointed as court master carpenter. He was in circa 1770 second time married to Martha Catharina Conradi, daughter of court master builder Johan Christian Conradi. In 1772, he bought his father-in-law's house in Bag Hovedvagten.

In 1685, Pfüzner dinally constructed a house on his empty lots in Amaliegade. The section of the property that faced oldbodgade ( nowNo. 31) was sold to gehejmeråd Hieronimus Johann Schultze (1717-1803). [1]
