	B-8	The building was erected in 1941 and replaced the old hospital in B-9. The large building has a sun terrace, which is housed in the eastern extension above the morgue, and thus symbolizes the methods of treatment against the tuberculosis epidemic in Greenland in the middle of the 20th century.	1941	-		[60]

	B-25	The one-storey building was built in Nuussuaq in the 18th century . The colony in Nuussuaq only existed from 1758 to 1763. The building therefore probably dates from this period.

	B-29	This building is also a typical half-timbered building from the mid-19th century. It initially served as a shop and is now a warehouse. In 1923 the B-23 was added.	1853	-		[72]
	B-30	The port warehouse consists of two full floors plus an attic.	1930	-		[73]

	B-112	Residential building	1948	-		[77]
	B-117	The building is the priest's apartment and is a half-timbered building.	1894	-		[78]
	B-300	The building was erected as an annex to the then museum in B-9. Its east wall consists of a thick stone wall.	1904	-		[79]
	B-803	The building is a small single-family house made of peat walls. Today it serves as a museum building.	1925	-		[80]
	B-807	Like the nearby B-803, it is a peat wall house, but it was laid out as a two-family house.	1925	-		[81]
area particularly worthy of preservation	C01	The area includes almost all of the protected buildings in the city and can be divided into three parts. The southern one consists of the red commercial buildings, the middle one is dominated by the church and also consists of the historic residential houses with front gardens and the small peat wall houses. and the northern part on a slope consists of residential houses. These are made of wood and have probably replaced the earlier peat wall houses. The area shows a striking architectural diversity that has arisen over the different time periods.	-	-		[82]
