The site was originally part of the same property as [[Cort Adler Gouse|Strandgade 22]]. In 1749, it was sold separately to Franz Fæddersens. He worked for the [[Danish Asiatic Company]] on the other side of the street. He heightened the building with one floor.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.indenforvoldene.dk/strandgade-24-24a-e|title=Strandgade 24|website=indenforvoldene.dk|accessdate=13 September 2015|language=Danish}}</ref>
The property was marked as No. 35 C on [[Gedde's maps of Copenhagen|Christian Gedde's 1757 map of Christianshavn]] but later referred to as No. 35B. It was owned by general war commissioner Høyer in 1756.
In 1790, No. 35B was acquired by [[Charles August Selby]], an Englishman who had settled in Copenhagen in 1753 and set up his own trading company in 1777.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.christianshavnernet.dk/Christianshavn/Kvadrant/Nord/Strandgade.html|title=Strandgade|website=christianshavnernet.dk|accessdate=13 September 2015|language=Danish}}</ref>

===20th century=== [[File:Strandgade 22-26 vintage photo.jpg|thumb|160px|Strandgade 24.]]
In 1911, Strandgade 24 was acquired by H. P. Wittenkamp. The Wittenkamp family operated the bakery under the name H. P. Wittenkamp & Søn until the 1970s.
The architects H. Christiansen and Jens Ladegaard undertook a renovation of the building in 1988–1989 which received an award from the City of Copenhagen.
==Architecture== The house is seven bays wide.
The building owes much of its appearance to an adaption undertaken by Fædersen in the years after 1743. He heightened the building by one storey and also added the rounded pediment as well as the two flanking dormers. The rounded pediment matches the similar feature on the [[Asiatisk Plads|Danish Asia Company]]'s former headquarters on the other side of the street. It features a relief of Mercury and Neptune, representing trade and seafaring. The relief is attributed to I. C. Petzhold. The building's Rococo-style main staircase was installed by Fædersen.
The secondary staircase to the rear dates from the 1940s. The rustication on the ground floor, the secondary cornice and the niche under the window of the central bay on the first floor date from 1864. The rear and cross wings were also built for Fæddersen. The wall towards No. 22 was constructed when this part of the property was sold off in 1743.
