History
Hans Puggaard painted in c. 1853

The house was built in 1807 by master mason and captain in the fire corps Georg Adam Gross (c.1748-1809).

The wealthy merchant Hans Puggaard purchased the property in 1830 and owned it until his death in 1865. He lived there with his wife Bolette Puggarrd. Two of her brothers were also residents in the building at different times. Johannes Hage (1800-1837), editor of the magazine Fædrelandet, was also a resident in the building around 1836. Hother Hage (1816-1873) a National Liberal politician, lived in the building in 1839 and again in 1855. Hans and Bolette Puggaard's daughter Maria Puggaard married Orla Lehman and they lived in the building in 1863.

Later Defense Minister and general P. F. Steinmann (1812-1894) was also a resident in the building in 1836. The paper manufacturer Johan Christian Drewsen had his last home in the building in 1850-51.[1]
