The entire eastern side of Naboløs (now Naboløs 15) was formerly made up of one large property. On 11 October 1504, it belonged to royal guard Peder Kempe. His widow Karina kept the property until her death after 24 July 1542. The property was then passed to their son Roidker Kempe. In 1558, it was acquired by mayor Anders Knudsen Skriver. His widow Sidsel Poulsdatter kept the property after his death in 1579. After her own death in 1611, it passed to their son Christoffer Andersen (died 22 November 1617), a barkeeper and councilman, who was married to Anne Marcusdatter Hess. After her death it was sold to the Crowbn (19 September 1626. On 15 October 1636, it was ceded to Wiwiche Kruse. In April 1648, he transferred it to the son Ulrich Christian Gyldenløve til Ulrichsholm. On 16 December 1649, he ceded the property to Johan Stenkull. By Raadstuedom of 12 December 1670, the property was ceded to Clavs Condevin. After his death, it passed to his heir Hans Johansen. On 30 January 1676, he presented it to councilman and co-owner Bartholomeus Jensen. On 15 March 1677, Bartholomeus Jensen ceded the property to etatsråd Jørgen Elers and his wife Margrete Vandal.
