The building was destroyed in the Copenhagen Fire of 1795 and the site was then left empty for eight years. The current building at the site was constructed in 1803 for Marthe Kirstine Obel, a widow who ran a game monger on Gammeltorv. Her tenants included captain lieutenant M. Bille and military auditor A. Hjelm with family. By 1809, Obel had sold the property to a string merchant named Lange. 10 years later the property had changed hands again and was now owned by timber merchant J. F. Faber. The property was by 1825 owned by his widow and all her tenants seems to have been women.
