Architecture
The building is constructed with four storeys over a walk-out basement. It has a seven-bays-long facade towards Ny Adelgade, a three-bays-wide facade towards Grønnegade and a chamfered corner bay. The latter was dictated for all corner buildings by Jørgen Henrich Rawert's and Peter Meyn's guidelines for the rebuilding of the city after the fire so that the fire department's long ladder companies could navigate the streets more easily. The facade is plastered and white-painted. It is finished with a belt course above the ground floor, a Greek key freeze with rosette ornamentation above the three central windows of the first floor towards Ny Adelgade and a modillioned cornice.
