History[edit]

17th and 18th centuries[edit]

No. 66 seen on a detail from Christian Gedde's map of St. Ann's West Quarter, 1757.

The site is located in the area known as New Copenhagen, which was not incorporated into the fortified city until the 1670s. The site was initially part of a property listed in Copenhagen's first cadastre from 1689 as No. 157 in St. Ann's West Quarter. The same property was listed in the new cadastre of 1756 as No. 65 in 1756 and owned by one etatsråd Scheel's widow.[1]

The writer, politician and publisher Edvard Brandes resided on the third floor from 1793 to 1896. The politician Tyge Rothe (1877–1970) was a resident on the third floor from 1900 to 1904.[2]

The Grocers Guild's sugar refinery[edit]

The property was later merged with the adjacent No. 64 by Urtekræmmerlauget and used for the construction of a sugar refinery. The property was listed as No. 64 in the new cadastre of 1806.

No. 64B was home to four households at the 1834 census.

Architecture[edit]

The building consists of four storeys over a raised cellar and is five bays wide. The ground storey is dressed with plaster rustication topped by a stucco frieze. The three upper floors stand in red-painted masonry with extruded "Hamburg joint".[24] The outer windows on the first floor are topped by triangular pediments supported by corbels. One long sill spans the three central windows on the second floor. The facade is finished by a dentillated cornice at the top. The tile roof is penetrated by three chimneys and features three dormer windows towards the street. The gate is topped by a fanlight and the interior walls of the gateway features four round relief medaillons, two on each side. A rear wing and a warehouse in the courtyard were both constructed in 1880.[24]
