Construction

The property was in the late 17th century part of a larger property. It was listed as No. 26 in St. Ann's East Quarter (Sankt Annæ Øster Kvarter) in Copenhagen's first cadastre of  1689 and was at that time owned by Jens Broch. The property was later divided into a number of smaller properties. The one now known as Lille Strandstræde 16 was listed as No. 99 in the new cadastre of 1756 and was then owned by mail coachman Jacob Boetzius. At the time of the 1787 census, No. 99 was home to a total of 21 residents distributed among five households. Christiane Busk, the owner of the property, resided there with his six children (aged two to ten) and one lodger. His wife is for some reason not mentioned among the residents. Sevastia Christoph Leib, a retired infantry captain, resided in the building with a maid. Johan Wølffert, a first mate () resided in the building with his wife Marie Faber and their one-year-old son Friderich Chr.Henrich. Peder Nielsen Norup, a workman, resided in the building with his wife Dorthea Kirstine and their three daughters (aged three to 11). Niels Ellafsen Bruun, a cellarman, resided in the building with his wife Else Catrine and a maid. 19th century

The property was acquired before 1801 by ship captain Anders Espersen Brandt. He was residing in the building at that time with his wife Karen Christine Brandt, their three sons (aged four to seven) and three maids. Christoph Wessel, a skipper, resided in another apartment with his wife Gundel Wessel and one maid. The residents of the third apartment were three mates (all in their 20s) and a 39-year-old widow with her nine-year-old son. In the new cadastre of 1806, the property was listed as No. 67. It was then owned by ship captain Andreas Espensen Brandt. At the time of the 1834 census, No. 56 was home to 28 people distributed among four households. Anna Giese (née Jessen), widow of Hans Jacob Jensen Giese (1764–1829), resided on the ground floor with her two sons (aged 25 and 28) and one lodger. Jakob Tygesen, a royal cook, resided on the first floor with his wife Johanna Adolfsen and their five children (aged two to ten). Hans (Esoer) Hillebrandt (1786–1854), a skipper, resided on the second floor with his wife Marie Giese, their four children (aged two to eight) and one maid. Niels Wiberg, an office courier, resided in the basement with his wife Regine Schneider and their six children (aged one to ten). At the time of the 1840 census, No. 67 was home to 19 residents. Ane Giese (née Jessen) was now residing in the first floor apartment with three unmarried children (aged 24 to 33) and one maid. Hans and Marie Hildebrandt, now with five children, were still residing on the second floor. Adam Nielsen, a royal stableman, resided on the ground floor with his wife Anne Ziegler and their two daughters (aged three and five).
