The site was formerly part of a larger property, continuing all the way to Kompagnistræde on the other side of the block. This property was listed in Copenhagen's first cadastre of 1689 as No. 13 in Snaren's Quarter and was owned by renteskriver Jacob Sørensen at that time. It was later divided into two properties, one in Snaregade and one in Kompagnistræde. The property in Snaregade was listed in the new cadastre of 1756 as No. 11, owned by kancelliråd Jens Reh's widow. The other property was listed as No. 62 and belonged to Jens Pedersen Voldbye. [1]

The property was destroyed in the Copenhagen Fireof 1795, together with most of the other buildings in the area. The present building on the site was constructed in 1797 by master mason Johan Martin Quist. [2] Other sources state that No. 10 was not built until 1806–08 [3] and yet others that the building was constructed by master mason P. Eegeroed [1] or that Qvist and Eegeroed may have built it together. [4]
