History
edit18th century
edit
The site was formerly part of three separate properties. The central part of the site was listed in Copenhagen's first cadastre of 1689 as No. 112 in Snaren's Quarter and belonged to turner Peder Hansen at that time. It was later expanded with part of No. 111 and No. 113. This larger property was listed in the new cadastre of 1756 as No. 96 and belonged to brewer Jens Andersen Møller.
Møller and his tenants
editThe property was later acquired by flour merchant Peter Møller. His property was home to 16 residents in two households at the 1887 census. The owner resided in the building with his wife Anne Magdalene Lucas, their three children (aged 10 to 14), two brewery workers, two caretakers and two maids.[1] Jacob Baden, a professor of philology at the University of Copenhagen, resided in the other dwelling with his wife Sophie Lovise Charlotte Klenov, their 19-year-old son Jacob Baden, one male servant and one maid.[2]
Møller's property was destroyed in the Copenhagen Fire of 1795, together with most of the other buildings in the area. The present building on the site was constructed for him in 1796–1797. One of the first tenants in the building was the priest Christian Bastholm (1740–1819).
