The property was in the late 17th century part of two separate properties. One of them was listed in Copenhagen's first cadastre of 1689 as No. 114 in Frimand's Quarter and was at that time owned by Johan Gottfried Becker. The other one was listed as No. 115 and belonged to merchant (kræmmer) Lambert Mandel. The two properties, together with most of the other buildings in the area, were destroyed in the Copenhagen Fire of 1728 and subsequently merged into a single property. The current building on the site was constructed in 1729 by master mason Simon Sørensen, master carpenter J. Pedersen and master mason Philip de Lagne for ironmonger Oluf Hegelund. The property was listed in the new cadastre of 1756 as No. 101 and was at that time owned by merchant (kræmmer) Peder Wasserfald.[1]
Peder Wasserfald's sons Johann Daniel Waloker and Peter Wasserfall owned the building at the time of the 1787 census. They lived there with two office clerks, two apprentices, a househeeper and a maid.[2]
It was heightened with one floor in the 1790s.[3]
Peter Wasserfall kept the building after he was married and became a member of Grosserer-Societetet. He lived in the building with his wife Tolerance Svane, their three children (aged three to seven), three office clerks, three servants and one maid.[4]
Blankensteiner & Søn, 1801–1844
The property was in the new cadastre of 1806 listed as No. 68.[1] It was at that time owned by Johan Georg Blankensteiner. He had in 1791 opened a shop at the corner of Købmagergade and Østergade, It had relocated to what is now Købmagergade 8 in 1801. It specialized in artistic images, galantry items (gifts) and toys. From 1803 the assortment also comprised nautical charts and devices. By 1806 J.G. Blankensteiner was listed as the owner of the building.[5]
In Mit Livs Eventyr, Hans Christian Andersen mentions buying a puppet theatre there sometime between 1819 and 1822. He used it for entertaining the Dahlén family in their home at Badstuestræde 18 (then No. 124).[6]

Carl August Blankensteiner, one of the founder's three sons, joined the company in the early 1830s. The name of the company was therefore changed to Blankensteiner & Søn. He continued it alone following his father's death in 1835. Both of his brothers joined the Danish Admiralty as volunteers. The Frederik Wilhelm Blankensteiner (1815–1862) served as ship's secretary onboard the frigate Rota when it was sent to Livorno in 1838 to pick up Bertel Thorvaldsen and some of his artworks. He would later also serve as provisions manager (Skibsproviantforvalter & Kahytsskriver) on the First Galathea Expedition from 1845 to 1847.[7]
The property was home to 20 residents at the time of the 1840 census. The brothers Peter Anton Blankensheiner, Carl August Blankensheiner and Frederik Wilhelm Blankensheiner resided on the ground floor with an office clerk and a caretaker. Jens Peter Bentzen, a silk and textile merchant, also resided on the ground floor with an apprentice. Adolf Siegfred Holm, a court official (Kongl. Hofcasserer), resided on the first floor with his wife Cathrine Marie Hedevig Holm, their two sons (aged four and 10) and one maid. Edvard Ganriques, a merchant, resided on the second floor with his housekeeper. Jacobine Skanke, a 64-year-old widow, resided on the third floor with one maid. Elias Schouw, a fruit and game retailer, resided in the basement with his wife Ane Christine Schouw and two unmarried daughters (aged 34 and 39).[8]
On 18 March 1844, the shop relocated to the corner of Amaliegade and Toldbodvej and from then on focused exclusively on nautical charts, books and devices.

Later history
The Amdrup family, owner of Skindhuset, acquired N. F. Larsen in 1975. They closed the store but kept the building. The retail space was then taken over by royal florist Erik Berings.[3] In 2017, the Amdrup family, sold the building to American property investor Hines.[20]
Today
In August 2018, it was announced that Jimmy Choo and Golden Goose Deluxe Brand will open two stores in the building.[21]
