History[edit]
Early history[edit]
The site was in 1689 part of a larger property, No. 211 in the East Quarter, owned by merchant (urtekræmmer) Thomas Torsmide's widow. In 1756, it was as No. 248 owned by Christian Frederik Vesterholdt. He was also the owner of Kastrupgård and Kastrup Værk on Amager.
Dine Beate Solle[edit]
At the time of the 1787 census, the property was owned by Dorthe (Dine) Beathe Solle, widow of the surgeon Johan Christopher Solle. She operated a barber shop from the premises. She resided there with her four children, five employees and three lodgers.[1] Another household consisted of the innkeeper Ellef Rejersen, his wife Else Magrethe, their daughter Ane Helene and a maid.[2]
In 1779, Solle's son Johan Christopher Solle had succeeded his father as resident surgeon for the Royal Waisen House.[3]
Solle's building was destroyed in the Copenhagen Fire of 1795, together with most of the other buildings in the area. The present building on the site was constructed for her in 1796.[4]
The property was at the time of the 1801 census home to a total of 18 people. Solle was still living there with her four children, three employees and two maids.[5] The property was in the new cadastre of 1806 listed as No. 155 and was by then still owned by Dine Bente Solle.
