The building was in its original form an example of one of the large version of  Johan Cornelius Krieger's so-called fire house designs.
After the Great Fire of 1728, Krieger was instructed to create a number of generic designs which were to serve as inspiration for craftsmen in connection with the rebuilding of the city.
Architects were in that day only engaged in individual construction projects by the crown and nobility.
Valkendorfsgade 36 was then an eight bays widethree-storey building with a prominent gabled wall dormer.
The building  was in 1886 heightened by one floor on each side of the wall dormer.

The facade towards the street is constructed in brick.
It is painted in a reddish-brown colour with white decorative details.
The facade is decorated with four quoin lesenes supported by Fleur-de-lis ornaments at the transition between the raised cellar and ground floor.
The building's original cornice Is still seen between the third and fourth floor, highlighting the transition between the old and new part of the facade.
The main entrance in the southernmost bay is raised four steps from street level.
The keystone above the main entrance features Getreuer's coat of arms as well as the year "1739".
The roof is clad with red tile.

A rear wing projects from the rear side of the building.
The facade towards the yard m both of the main wing and the side wing, is constructed with timber framing.

The building was listed on the Danish registry of protected buildings and places in 1918.
It was restored in 2018.
The restoration work received a bronze medal at the Renover Awards.
