The building was sold on July 12, 1708 by Marina Elisabeth Copinus to her husband, the red and bell caster Christian Copinus . The building was four axes wide and four stories high. The construction was completed by a mansard roof with two five-part towers. On the sides, the facade was framed by two long, narrow pilaster strips with fantasy capitals. The capitals consisted of an oval cartouche, the upper extensions of which became volutes of an Ionic capital. Below were two-part flower hangings. The two central axes were combined into a risalit by means of a template. The windows were smooth, with rectangular plastering fields in between. The windows of the middle template were lavishly profiled and showed roofs with jewelry underneath. Smaller cartridges were placed over the lintels as keystones. On the first floor there were cartouches with tendrils under a segmental arch roof. The windows on the second floor were crowned by triangular gables, which were filled with large decorative shells and tendrils. The windows on the third floor were still underlaid with consoles and lambrequin-like plaster panels. There were no longer any suspicions above the windows on the third floor. There were shells that were surrounded by tendrils. They found their approach in window keystones, which were shaped as a woman's head.

The building is flanked by the “Zum Schwan” building.
