History

Gammel Strand 36 was built in 1800–01 by master builder and architect Johan Christopher Suhr (1736–1801).[1]

Franz Glaeser (1798–1861) was a resident in one of the apartments when he first came to Copenhagen from Berlin in 1843 to lead the Royal Danish Orchestra. He moved to an apartment on Hauser Plads in 1852.[1] J. Gram (1816–1871), professor of law at the University of Copenhagen, was a resident in the building in 1853–54.[1]

Architecture

Gammel Strand 36 consists of four floors over a raised cellar and is four bays wide. The door in the right-hand side of the building is topped by a triangular pediment. A cellar entrance is located in the second bay from the left. The facade is finished by a dentilated cornice. A plaster frieze between the windows on the first and second floor and a band of masonry band between the second and third floors were removed when the facade was first oil painted in 1849.[2]

A three-bay side wing projects from the rear side the building and connects to a one-bay rear wing. The building was listed in the Danish registry of protected buildings and places in 1945.[2]
