The property was together with the adjacent corner property Højbro Plads 15 formerly part of a property listed in Copenhagen's first cadastre of 1689 as No. 217 in the city's East Quarter (Øster Kvarter). The site was together with that of present-day No. 15 in 1689 part of a larger property (then No. 217) owned by wine vendor (vintapper) Peter Pecken. It was then situated in the no longer existing street Store Færgestræde. It was owned by wine merchant (vintapper) Peter Pecken. The property was listed in the new cadastre of 1756 as No. 254 and belonged to one naval commander Kiærulff.[1]

Later history

The building (furthest to the right)on 13 June 1911.

The industrialist and co-founder of Industribanken Hans Peter Frederiksen (1810-1891) was among the residents in 1861.[23] With the introduction of house numbering by street in Copenhagen in 1859 (as opposed to the old cadastral numbers by quarter)), No. 45 became Højbro Plads 17.[1]

The building was at the time of the 1880 census home to a total of 15 people.[24]

The building was in the 1910s home to a broker's office as well as a dental clinic as advertized by large signs on the facade. (cf. the image)

Architecture

The building viewed from the yard.

The building is constructed with four storeys over a walk-out basement and is five bays wide. The facade is divided horizontally by a cornice band above the ground floor. The main entrance furthest to the left is topped by a hood mould supported by corbels. The basement entrance is located in the second bay from the right. The outer windows on the first floor are framed in sandstone and are topped by triangular pediments. The rectangular space below the windows were originally decorated with blind balustrades (cf. the vintage photo above). The outer windows on the second floor have sills supported by corbels but no pediments. The three central bays are visually brought together by through-going sills under the windows on the second and third floors while the sill on the first floor runs in the full width of the building. A slightly recessed band under the three central windows on the third floor was originally the site of a stucco frieze (cf. the vintage photo above). The facade is finished by a modillioned cornice under the roof. A short perpendicular side wing extends from the rear side of the building. The Building was listed in the Danish registry of protected buildings and places in 1824.[25]

Today

The building is today owned by E/F Højbro Plads 17.
