The site was originally part of two separate properties. One of them was by 1689 as No. 27 in St. Ann's Quarter (Sankt Annæ Kvarter) owned by Marcus Rotsteen. The other one was by 1689 as No. 28 owned by tanner Villum Lydersen. Two adjoining sections of the two properties were by 1756 as No. 26 and No. 68 owned by skipper Jens Larsen.
The corner building was constructed as a warehouse for skipper Jens Karsen in 1744—46.[1] The facade on Nyhavn featured a four-bay, rounded wall dormer with the '1744' over the windows. The facade on Toldbodgade featured a crow-stepped gable.

The property was later acquired by merchant (grosserer) and later bank manager Rasmus Kirketerp (1747-1830). At the time of the 1801 census, he resided in the building with his wife Elisabeth Bechmann and their five children (aged six to 18), an office clerk, a chachman, a caretaker, a chamber maid (husjomfru) and three maids.[2]
At the time of the 1834 census, Elisabeth Kirketerp resided on the ground floor with her 47-year old daughter Sidsel Magretha Kirketerp, a chamber maid (husjomfru), a male servant and two maids.[3] One of her sons, Niels Kirketerp (1785-1855)., a merchant (grosserer), resided on the second floor with his wife Erlandsine Fredr.Wandel, their five children (aged two to 11), the bookkeeper Søren Hastrup, a male servant and two maids.[4]
