Edward Brown had returned to Copenhagen after making a fortune in the ingigo industry and on trade in India. He owned Gurrehus north of Copenhagen.

Architecture

Kronprinsessegade 20

Kronprinsessegade 20 is seven bays wide and has slightly progressing, one-bay corner risalits at each end. The wall between the two corner risalits has grey dressing on the high cellar while the upper three floors stand in red-painted, blank brick. The windows of the corner risalits on the bottom floor have framing and are topped by triangular pediments. The windows of the two corner risalits on the second floor are surrounded by rusticated framing while there are semi-curcilar Tympana over the five central windows. The roof is a slate-clad Mansard roof with seven dormers and five chimneys. An attica was removed in the middle of the 19th century. Under the roof runs a white-painted cornice supported by brackets. [19]

A rather clumpsy iron canopy over the gateway of the building doubles as a balcony on the first floor.

The gateway opens to a narrow courtyard. A four-storey, six-bay side wing extends from the rear side of the building along the north side of the courtyard. A nine-bay rear wing is located at the bottom of the courtyard.
