The site was formerly made up of two separate properties, one facing the canal and one facing Admiralgade on the other side of the block. The larger property towards the canal was listed in Copenhagen's first cadastre of 1689 as No. 212 and belonged to judge and mayor Christen Andersen at that time. The smaller property in Admiralgade was listed as No. 207 and belonged to Henrik Lydersen.[1]
Gustmeyer and the new building
The larger property towards the canal was at some point acquired by the general trader Carl Hieronimus Gustmeyer, His property was listed in the new cadastre of 1756 as No. 249 in the East Quarter. The smaller property in Admiralgade was listed as No. 243 and belonged to cooper Christen Larsen but was later also acquired by Gustmeyer.
The property was after Carl Hieronimus Gustmeyer's death in 1756 passed down to his son Friedrich.[2]
Frid.Ludolp Goubmeyer's property No. 249 was home to 21 residents in three households at the time of the 1787 census. Hustmeyer resided in the building with his wife Ane Dorethea Goubmeyer, their two children (aged five and seven), a bookkeeper, a clerk, an apprentice, two maids, a caretaker, a lodger and a coachman.[3] Ch.Haraldsen, a tea merchant, resided in the basement with his wife Cath Olsen Walloe, their four children (aged one to six) and one maid.[4] Jacob Detour, a potseller, resided in the basement with his wife Inger Niels Datter.[5] No. 243 was home to 16 residents in three households.

The building was destroyed in the Copenhagen Fire of 1795. The present building on the site was completed in 1796 to designs by Johan Martin Quist. Quist was one of a handful of master builders who obtained a near monopoly on the rebuilding of the city after the fire.[9]
Friderich Ludwig Gustmeyer's building complex was home to three households at the 1801 census. Gustmeyer and his wife resided in the building with their two children (aged 19 and 20), and the senior clerk Bengt Julius Lingblom.[10] Carl Wigandt Falbe, a judge in Hof- og Stadsretten, resided in the building with his wife a servant.

The remaining residents were either employees in Gustmeyer's trading firm or servants.[11]

At the time of the 1845 census, the property was home to a total of 12 people. Anders Ancker, a textile wholesale merchant, resided with his son, three employees, three apprentices and three servants on the ground floor.[12] Ane Sophie Brown (1768–1855), widow of vice admiral Peter Caspar Wessel Brown (1755–1840), was residing with Eleonora Christine Harboe and two maids on the first floor.

20th century
The house was owned by King George I of Greece from 1903 until his assassination in 1913. He was a son of Christian IX of Denmark and Louise of Hesse-Kassel.[9]
The building later served as headquarters for Kjøbenhavns Brandforsikring.[17]
Architecture
The Neoclassical building is one of Copenhagen's first examples of a bourgeois residence with free-standing columns.
The property also includes two lateral wings which connect the main wing to a rear wing facing Admiralgade which served as warehouse for Gustmeyer's business. There is also a one-storey building in the central courtyard which dates from the same time as the rest of the complex.
Today
The entire property was refurbished by royal building inspector David Bretton-Meyer for the consultancy McKinsey & Company in 1985–1986. The building is owned today by ATP Properties.
