English Row Houses

Toldbodgade 71-85
1869-1873

Designed by Vilhelm Tvede for the charity Det Classenske Fideicommis
established in the 18th century by the Army General and armaments manufacture Johan Frederik Classen.

This terraced row of eight houses is just north of the royal palace and runs parallel to the harbour but is set back behind warehouses. There is a courtyard or garden to the front, on the side away from the harbour, separated from the street by iron railings and stone gate piers and there are now very small back yards with single-storey toilet blocks - presumably for the use of servants.
