The site was formerly part of two smaller properties. The western property was listed in Copenhagen's new cadastre of 1756 as No. 111 in Klædebo Quarter, owned by carpenter Johan Christian. The eastern property was listed as No. 112, owned by distiller Christen Larsen.[1]

Rosengården 11-13 seen on one of Berggreen's block plans of Klædebo Quarter, 1886–88. Notice the two now demolished side wings.

In 1830, No. 121 and No. 122 were merged into a single property as No. 121 & 122. The property was at some point acquired by distiller Nicolay Peter Cadovius. He resided in the building with his four children (aged three to 25), three male employees and two maids at the time of the 1740 census.[9]

Lars Rasmussen, a barkeeper, resided in the adjacent building No. 123+125 )now Rogengården 11) with his wife Anna Sophie Espens, their 16-year-old son and three workmen.[10]

The present building on the site was constructed for Cadovius in 1841–42.[11]

The property was home to 43 residents in seven households at the 1845 census. Nicolay Peter Cadovius, a distiller, resided on the ground floor with his wife Dorthea Cathrine Winther, their five children (eight to 23) and six male employees. Thrine Bryndum, the widow of a grocer (høker), resided in one of the first-floor apartments with her eight-year-old son, one maid and two lodgers. Laura Overby, a widow with a pension, resided in the other first-floor apartment with the widow Ane Christine Staustrup, one maid and one lodger. Hans Dalberg, a kammerassessor at Maleværket, resided in one of the second-floor apartments with his wife Emilie Christine Dahlberg, their five children (aged seven to 12) and two maids. Jørgen Thor Teblelev, a retired civil servant, resided in one of the second-floor apartments with his Oline Frederikke Teblelev, one maid and two lodgers. Christian Engelhart, a bank assistant, resided in one of the third-floor apartments with his wife Natalie f. Rønne, one maid and one lodger. Marie Laura Holmblad, Marie Elisabeth Funck and Herigood Grümer—three unmarried women—shared the other third-floor apartment.[12]

In 1850, Cadovius also constructed the neighboring building at Rosengården 11 (then No. 123).[11]

Cadovius was still the owner of the building at the time of the 1860 census. His property was home to 39 residents in seven households at the 1860 census. Nicolai Peter Cadovius resided on the ground floor with three unmarried daughters (aged 23 to 30), a huskomfru, two maids, four male employees and two lodgers. Ove Malling, a high-ranking civil servant in the Ministry of Interior Affairs, resided on the first floor with his wife Betzy Andrea Marie Malling (née Sletting), their two children (aged three and five) and two maids.

The naval officer Elias Tuxen and the author Fanny Tuxen myst have taken over one of the apartments later the same year. Their daughter Harriet was thus born in the building in 1860.[13]

C. A. Christensen's Eftf., a wholesale company dealing in silver and gold articles, was based in the building in 1950. The firm was founded in 1870 by C. A. Christensen.[14]
