History

The house was built before 1788 for brewer Poul Christensen Hvidsteen. The merchant Hans Puggaard lived in the building from 1827 to1829. The military officer Frederik R. H. von Bülow (1791-1858) lived in the building from 1839. He had previously lived at Nyhavn 39.[1]

Jacobsen & Saabye, a wholesale company, was later based in the building. Founded by Louis Hansen in 1875, it was from 1919 owned by Hans Jacobsen (21 November 1872 - 8 March 1949) and A. Saabye. Saabye left the company in 1929. It was after Jacobsen's death in 1949 continued by his two children, Herman Jacobser (born 1899) amd daughter J. Højby Hansen (born 1908).[2]

Architecture

The building consists of three storeys over a high cellar and is six bays wide. The building has a black-glazed tile roof with three dormers. A small balcony is located in front of the central dormer. Under the roof runs a cornice supported by brackets. The gateway is flanked by two canon barrels to protect the corners from carriage wheels.[3] A projecting keystone is seen over the gate.

Two former warehouses and a rear wing with stables are located in the courtyard.[4]

Today

The building is owned by Matorion, a property company owned by Bent Fabricius-Bjerre and his two sons. It was refurbished in 1987. Restaurant Ved Kajen ("By the Quay") is located in the ground floor. The name of the restaurant refers to the title of an Osvald Helmuth song.
