History

18th century

The property was listed in Copenhagen's first cadastre of 1689 as No. 10 in St. Ann's East Quarter. It was owned by skipper Peder Jensen at that time. The current building on the site was constructed between 1723 and 1733. The house was then a two-storey building with a facade crowned by a gabled wall dormer, remniscient of the one stil seen at present-day Nyhavn 9. It was separated from No. 9 (now Nyhavn 27) by a small alley leading to a small undeveloped area. In the winter of 175253, No, 10 was acquired for 2,450 Danish rigsdaler by first mate (overstyrmand) in the Danish Asiatic Company Lars Swane. He was married to Johanne Marie Harboe (since 31 July 1848) and the couple had three children. He had for some time owned a 50 % share of No. 11 (now Nyhavn 31). The other half of No. 11 was then owned by one Peder Pedersen Løg's widow. Swane's new property was listed in the new cadastre of 1756 as No. 15 in St. Ann's East Quarter. He and his family did not move to their new property until after he was appointed as captain of the ship Dronning Sophie Magdalena in 1767. Swane sailed from Copenhagen in December 1757, bound for Tranquebar. The ship arrived back in Copenhagen in  May 1759. He captained his second DAC expedition, this time to Canton, from January 1761 until July 1762. His wife ran a tea and porcelain shop with his personal home-bringings until 1760. In the winter of 176263, Swane sold the property for 3,300 Danish rigsdaler. Their next home was a third-floor apartment at Store Kongensgade No. 44 (now Store Kongensgade 45). In early 1764, while Swane was on a new expedition to Canton, his wife purchased No. 12 in Strand Quarter (now Gammel Strand 42). The property was home to 12 residents in three households at the time of the 1787 census. Peter Rose, a commissioner, resided in the building with his wife Karen Møller, their 10-year-old foster son
