No. 2 was built for the Freemasons between 1867 and 1869 to a design by Vilhelm Tvede. The building was replaced by the Freemasons' Hall on Blegdamsvej in 1927. For a while, in the 1930s, the building then served as a cinema under the name Palæbiografen. In 1972–74, Helge Bonnesen adapted the building for its current use as home of the Section of Musicology at University of Copenhagen.
