Back in the 17th century, the site was part of Samuel Christoph von Plessen.'s garden. Incirca 1680, he constructed a mansion on the other side of the block, where Hotel Phoenix stands today. His property was listed in Copenhagen's first cadastre from 1689 as No. 131 in St. Ann's East Quarter. A row of small lots on Store Kongensgade were later sold off as independent properties. The small corner property was listed in the new cadastre of 1756 as No. 242 in St. Ann's East Quarter, owned by wheelwright Bastian Jacobsen. No. 27–252 were also created from land that had previously belonged to No. 131 (now No. 208). [1]
