The building, which was partly built in half-timbered construction around 1540 , appeared at the beginning of the 20th century as an eaves house over three floors. The main building, erected in bricks over two plot widths, was "[...] probably the oldest of its kind" and, according to the Wäskenbook, was built in 1439 by the later Lübeck bishop Johann Scheele as the client. The courtyards of the friars of the Augustinians and the Carmelites formerly joined the property from Röselerstrasse and Osterstrasse . Scheele also donated a former chapel built on the property .

The Hanover Chamber writer and chronicler Johann Heinrich Redecker was the apparently altered in the 17th century Front for the market street in his chronicle Historical Collectanea ... from.

At the time of the Kingdom of Hanover , the building housed the Thalia Association , which was founded in the royal seat in 1852 and had the house converted for theater performances inside.

During the founding of the German Empire , the building was thoroughly rebuilt by the architect Otto Goetze in 1879 as a venue for the Residenz Theater .

At the beginning of the Weimar Republic , the building was used by the automobile and bicycle wholesaler Friedrich C. Wagener from 1922 as a “Residenz-Autohallen” at Marktstrasse 46-47 , about which the monument conservator Arnold Nöldeke judged in the early 1930s: “[ ...] The monument value is as good as destroyed ”.

During the air raids on Hanover in World War II , almost the entire area around Marktstrasse fell victim to aerial bombs , as a photo by photographer Heinz Koberg from around 1948, printed in the Hanover City Lexicon, shows. During the time of the British occupation zone , numerous archaeological excavations were carried out randomly in 1947 and 1948 on the rubble in the area of ​​the largely destroyed old town in order to “get to the bottom” of Hanover's history. Among other things, "[...] remains of a chapel built between 1420 and 1438 were uncovered on the side wing of the destroyed building at Marktstrasse 47." Two nearly round pointed arches were found in a partition between the hallway of the destroyed main house and the chapel of the side wing .
