The site was formerly part of two separate properties. They were listed in Copenhagen's first cadastre of 1689 as No. 17 and No. 18 in Strand Quarter. They were at that time owned by Anders Søbødker (No. 17) and one Jens Pedersen's widow Bente (No. 18): [1]

The properties were both destroyed in the Copenhagen Fire of 1795. The fire spread along the waterfront from the east and was stopped just one house further to the west at the street Naboløs.
