The property (then No. 21) was in 1689 owned by skipper Hans Larsen's heirs. The current building was constructed in 1731 for bargeman Ole Hansen.[1] The property was in 1756 as No. 18 still owned by him. In the new cadastre of 1806 it was again listed as No. 18 and had by then been acquired by merchant Simon Hechscher..[2]
The property was at the time of the 1840 census home to a total of 12 people.[3] Major General Carl Erich Sames's orphaned children Carl Wilhelm Johan von Sames and Caroline Jacobine Johanne von Sames were living with their governess Hanne Dorothea Melbye on the first floor. Sophie Frederikke Thomsen, widow of leiutenant C. F. Thomsen. resided on the second floor. She shared it with a clockmaker's apprentice, Adolph Theodor Holm. Susanne Meyn, widow of lieutenant and royal building inspector C. Meyn, resided with three daughters on the ground floor.

Jens Hansen , a worker, resided with his wife and daughter in the basement.[4]
