[edit]18th century
[edit]
The property was listed as No. 51 in Snaren's Quarter (Snarens Kvarter) in 1689, owned by distiller Anders Søgaar, The current building on the site was constructed in 1734 for blacksmith Thomas Sørensen. The property was listed as No. 47 (new number) and owned by glazier Johan Gabe by 1756.[1]
At the time of the 1787 census, No. 47 was home to 22 people in four households. Friderich Irrgang, a glazier, resided in the building with his wife Sophie Amalia Irrgang (née Hiordt), their three daughters (aged two to five), two children from his first marriage (aged eight to 11), a glazier, two glazier's apprentices and two maids.[2] Carolina Mathiesen, a 72-year-old unmarried woman, resided in the building with one maid.[3] Lorentz Fjelderup Lassen, a naval officer, then with rank of first lieutenant, resided in the building with his wife Heelene Charlotthe Lassen and a maid.[4] Engel Cathrine Fischer, a 55-year-old unmarried woman, resided in the building with three other unmarried women (aged 28 to 37) and one maid.[5]
The magistrate had in 1784 appointed Irrgang as alderman of the Glaziers' Guild in spite of the fact that he had only received two votes in the election and another candidate (Claussen) had received 14 votes. In 1787, he was succeeded by Johan Barklay. Johan Barklay had received 11 votes in the election versus seven votes for Irrgang.[6]

At the time of the 1801 census, No. 47 was home to a total of 24 people in three households. Abraham Vesterberg and Sophie Amalia Irrgang resided in the building with the two youngest daughters from Irrgang's first marriage, three employees in the glazier's business (one of them an apprentice) and one maid.[7] Another household consisted of Sophie Amalia Irrgang's mother Johanne Marie Ebbesen(aged 68), her three brothers (aged 23 to 28) and two sisters (aged 20 and 30), three lodgers and two maids.[8] A third household consisted of Danish Chancery courier Peter Saxe, his wife Marie Cathrine Knudsen, their 17-year-old son Henrich Saxe (student), the lodger Lars Jessen (student) and one maid.[9]

Architecture
[edit]
The building was originally constructed with two storeys over a walk-out basement and was then topped by a pitched roof with a four-bay gabled wall dormer. The roof was replaced by a full third storey and a mansard roof between 1739 and 1869. The timber framing of the old part of the building is oak while pine timber was used in the construction of the newer third storey. The gate in the two bays furthest to the right (west) is topped by a fanlight and the name Johs. A. Smith is written on the transom. A basement entrance is located in the bay furthest to the left (east). The mansard roof is clad with red tile and features three dormer windows towards the street and two towards the yard.[15]
Today
[edit]
The building was owned as of 2007 by Peniila and Tanguy Lavoriette. Peniila Anastasia Laviolette (née Smith) was the daughter of Johannes and Margit Smith. She died in 2020.[16] Tanguy Lavoriette, a French-born landscape architect, works for the Agency for Culture and Palaces.[17]
Tortus Copenhagen, a ceramics studio founded by American ceramics artist Eric Landon, his brother Justin Landon and Karin Blach Nielsen,[18] is now based in the rear wing.[19]
