18th century[]

No. 12 seen on a detail from Christian Gedde's map of Strand Quarter, 1756.

The property was listed as No. 12 in Strand Quarter in Copenhagen's first cadastre of 1689. It was at that time owned by the king's furier Rudolf Boldevin. The property was again listed as No. 12 in the new cadastre of 1756 and was then owned by Thomas Morville.[1]

Agent Hans Holck (1726-1783), who created the first city directory for Copenhagen, was among the residents in around 1782.[2]

At the time of the 1787 census, No. 12 was home to four households. Friderich Christian Fries , a naval officer with rank of captain lieutenant, resided in the building wothput any family or staff.[3] Fridericha Magrethe Sal.Nissen, a 52-year-old widow, resided in another dwelling with her 24-year-old daughter Anne Agathe Nissen, two lodgers, a seamstress, three maids and an 11-year-old orphaned girl that she had adopted.[4] Mette Claussen, widow of a justitsråd, resided in a third dwelling with her 13-year-old daughter Helena Ahemand, her sister Helena Maria Claussen, two maids, a male servant and a lodger.[5] Petr Andersen, a junk dealer, resided in the basement with his wife Anne Chierstine, their two children (aged four and six), his mother Ellen Sørensen and one maid.[6]

The property was destroyed in the Copenhagen Fire of 1795, together with most of the other buildings in the area. The current building on the site was constructed in 1799–1800 by master carpenter Christopher Crane for merchant Claus Saabye

19th century[]

At the time of the 1801 census, Saabye's property was home to four households. The 30-year-old owner resided in one of the apartments with his widowed mother Mette Marie Barmeyer, a clerk and a maid.[7] Knud Engelbreth Langberg, a general averae adjuster (Dispacheur), resided in the building with his wife Birgitte Marie Jacobsen.[8] Else Langberg (née Jacobsen), a widow, resided in a third apartment with her four children (aged four to 10), two clerks and two maids.[9] The basement was home to 13 people, including an office courier, a fishmonger and a fisherman as well.[10]

The property was listed as No. 11 in the new cadastre of 1806. It was at that time owned by grocer (ortekræmmer) S. M. Salomonsen. The surgeon Ludwig Lewin Jacobson was among the residents in 1816–18. Counter Admiral Lorentz Fjelderup Lassen lived in the building from 1834 and until his death in 1837. F.C.

The ground floor was in the late 19th century home to a grocer's shop, Lassen Hansens urtekramhandel.

20th century[]

The building was in 1900 acquired by Kristian Mikkelsen Vendsyssel. He had established his own fish wholesale business in Hjørring in 1887 but later moved the operation first to Frederikshavn and then in 1895 to Copenhagen. On 30 October 1898, together with Seattle-based Theodor Wilhelm Hansen (died 1916) and Frederikshavn-based Peder Morthensen Asp (died 1917), he had started a new venture, Vendsyssel Packing Co, which was involved in the salting of salmon on the American west coast for sale on the European markets. The company was in 1950 still based in the building.[11][12][13]

The painters Harald Slott-Møller (1864-1937) and Agnes Slott-Møller lived in one of the apartments in the years around 1908.[2]

The building consists of four storeys over a raised cellar and is four bays wide. The facade of the ground floor and cellar is dressed in a grey colour while the upper floors stand in undressed, red masonry. A side wing extends from the rear of building and connects to a rear wing at the bottom of a narrow courtyard.[14]
