History

Construction

Kronprinsessegade is one of the properties that was created when Kronprinsessegade was established in the years around 1800. The three first properties at the eastern corner of Dronningens Tværgade, initially referred to as Parcel No. 9–11, were sold to merchant Jacob Meier Amselsohn (No. 9), distiller Anders Møller (No. 10ndash11). In 1802, No. 9 was acquired by carriage builder James Fige. In February 1805, Bloms Enke & Sønner (Blom's Widow & Sons) acquired the three properties. Bloms Enke & Sønner, a partnership consisting of the widow Birthe Blom and her four mason sons, had already constructed a number of buildings at the other corner of the two streets. Their new site was listed in Copenhagen's new cadastre of 1806 as No. 401 in St. Ann's East Quarter. Their plan was to redevelop it with four new buildings. Only two of these (No. 401 A–B, now Dronningens Tværgade 56–58) had been constructed when the partnership was dissolved in 1809. It was subsequently acquired by Thomas Blom. The corner building (now Kronprinsessegade 40) was constructed by him in 1811. In 1815, finally embarked on the construction of the last building (No. 401 D, now Kronprinsessegade 42). It was completed the following year.
