History

Origins

In the late 17th century, the site was part of a larger property. This property was listed in Copenhagen's first cadastre from 1689 as No. 130 in St. Ann's East Quarter owned by Hans Christoffersen Richter. In the new cadastre of 1756, it was listed as No. 241. It was by then owned by councilman Abraham Falch.

In the new cadastre of 1806, the property was listed as No. 245. It was owned by Justitsråd Binck's widow at that time.

The present building on the site was constructed in 1807 by master mason and captain in the fire corps Georg Adam Gross (c.1748-1809). In 1810, it was acquired by the wealthy ship captain and merchant John Christmas. He owned it until his death in 1822. He was from 1813 also the owner of the country house Rolighed in Skodsborg.

The wealthy merchant Hans Puggaard purchased the property in 1830 and owned it until his death in 1865. He lived there with his wife Bolette Puggarrd. Two of her brothers were also residents in the building at different times. Johannes Hage (1800–1837), the editor of the magazine Fædrelandet, was also a resident in the building around 1836. Hother Hage (1816–1873) a National Liberal politician, lived in the building in 1839 and again in 1855. Hans and Bolette Puggaard's daughter Maria Puggaard married Orla Lehmann and they lived in the building in 1863.

The military officer and later Defense Minister Peter Frederik Steinmann (1812–1894) was also a resident in the building in 1836.

At the 1840 census, Puggaard's property weas home to 33 residents.
