The property was made up of two separate properties in the late 17th century. One of them was listed as No. 242 in Rosenborg Quarter in Copenhagen's first cadastre of 1689 and was at that time owned by Niels Thom. The other one was listed as No. 243 and belonged to Christen Hansen.

The two properties were listed as No. 218 (old No. 243) and No. 233 (old No. 242) in the new cadastre of 1756 and were at that time both owned by Paul Friis. They were not marked on Christian Gedde's map of Rosenborg Quarter. The block was at this point still referred to as "the Reformed Church's empty lot".^[1]
