The Nyhavn property was listed in Copenhagen's first cadastre from 1689 as No. 1 in St. Ann's East Quarter (Sankt Annæ Øster Kvarter), owned by locksmith Hans Monnike. A new building was constructed in 1753 fir locksmith Peder Jørgensen Ambus.
The building was in 1776 purchased by wine merchant Lars Fogh Rasmusen. He had two years earlier started his own wine business. His widow Dorethe (née Helt) was after his death in 1782 a second time married to Peter Handerup (born 1746), another wine merchant, who from then on continued the business. At the time of the 1787 census, they resided in the building with two children from Helt's first marriage, an apprentice and two maids. In 1792, No. 1 and the associated wine business was taken over by Johan Friderich Inselmann (1753–1798).
