The site was in 1689 part of a larger property. In 1689, it was as No. 125 in Frimand's Quarter owned by "Krigsråd" Mejer's widow and consisted of four tennancies. The property was after the Copenhagen Fire of 1728 divided into a number of smaller properties. The building constructed on the site was a two-storey building with a facade crowned by a large, three-bay gabled wall dormer. It was built to one of Johan Cornelius Krieger's standard designs created in connection with the rebuilding of the city after the fire.
