The building at 54 H.C. Ørstedsvej, Frederiksberg, was built in 1939 by architect Edvard Thomsen for his father, master painter Johannes Thomsen. The four-storey building was to house a post office on the ground floor and flats on the other storeys. The flats were accessed at the rear of the building from an external gallery. The different intended uses of the building is reflected in the facade: the ground floor was covered with yellow tiles, the next two storeys were covered with light coloured plaster, while the upper storey was painted green. The roof was white corrugated fibre cement board.
