Lars Larsen (timber merchant)

Lars Larsen.

Lars Larsen (1737–1817) was a Danish timber merchant and ship-owner. He also served as one of the directors of Kjøbenhavns Brandforsikring and the Danish–Norwegian Species Bank and as one of Copenhagen's 32 Men. He owned the property Nyhavn 63 as well as the country house Søholt in Østerbro. He should not be confused with the somewhat younger ship builder Lars Larsen, namesake of the Lars Larsen House and Larsens Plads.[1]
