The present building on the site was built in 1732 for Frederick IV's coachman Christen Christensen Dam and his wife Karen Sørensdatter. The property was listed in the new cadastre of 1756 as No. 17 in Snaren's Quarter and was still owned by Christen Dam at that time.

The sand was transported to the site by barge. It was then sold by the sand traders to the so-called "sandmen", who drove around with their carriages. Women would then call down to them from the windows: "Hey Sandman, come up with a skæppe!" (1 skæppe = 17.3 liter).

Nybrogade 18 was originally constructed with three storeys over a Walk-out basement and is just four bays wide. The lower part of the roof was towards the street replaced by a mezzanine in 1854. The front side of the building is constructed in undressed red brick, with white-painted windows, save the overground portion of the cellar which is plastered and has blue-painted windows. Two decorative Fleur-de-lis wall anchors are seen between the windows on the two upper floors. The main entrance is placed in a flat arched opening. The keystone and imposts of the arch are made of sandstone. The blue-painted door is topped by a transom window. The transom window is fronted by a decorative lattice screen. The door is accessed via a short flight of granite steps.

A four-storey, perpendicular side wing, with brown-painted timber framing and bargeboards and ocre-coloured infills, extends from the rear side of the building along one side of a small courtyard. The rear side of the main wing is constructed in brick but also finished with ocre-coloured plastering. The building's main staircase is located in the side wing.{{cite web|url=https://www.kulturarv.dk/fbb/sagvis.pub?sag=3100323|title=Sag: Nybrogade 17|language=da|website=Kulturstyrelsen|access-date=15 March 2021}}
