The building was destroyed in the Copenhagen Fire of 1795. The current building was constructed for candlemaker Jens Almind in 1796–97. The larger property around the corner at Dybensgade 22 was also constructed for Almind in 1797. The property in Admiralgade was in the new cadastre of 1806 again listed as No. 163. It was by then still owned by Almind.
