History
[edit]The road was planned and it was already at this point decided to name it after the officer and road engineer Enrico Dalgas. Construction did not start until 1911.[1]
Notable buildings and structures
[edit]Dalgas Have is one of several campuses of Copenhagen Business School in Frederiksberg. It is from 1889 and was designed by Henning Larsen Architects.[2]
Much of the southern part of the street is lined by single family detached homes. No. 45 was designed by Kaj Gottlob.[3]
