1936

The Municipality of Copenhagen condemned the building in Møntergade. Christian Troelstrup purchased the corner property at 5 Vester Voldgade which is the current location of the store.
As his final goodbye to the property in Møntergade, Christian Troelstrup organised an event one spring day in April. He covered the façade of the property in coats – all five storeys from pavement to roof. The picture, which was taken by a passing American photographer, was published in newspapers all over Europe and in America. In 1940, the picture was published in National Geographic, and is still used from time to time today.
