The building was constructed in 1768 for Akvavit-distiller Christian Rasmussen Lihme. It is believed that the architect was Hans Næss (1723–1795).

The composer Peter Heise lived in the building in 1866–67.[1] It was listed in 1918.[2]

Architecture

The four-storey building is designed in the Neoclassical style. It is five bays wide and has a three-bay median risalit decorated with a relief depicting Poseidon between the second and third floor.[1]
