A historical marker on the front of the building provides the following information:
"A tradition domain of bakers and confectioners from the 17th century. The most famous confectioner in Tallinn, Georg Stude, who established his company in 1864, had the two smaller medieval houses reconstructed into one big building. The historicist house was projected by the architect Nikolai Thamm Senior. This site housed the confectioners who were renowned for making marzipan and chocolate, along with the business and living quarters of the owner. The company also had a shop in Moscow. In 1877-84, with the help of Polish restorers, the building was converted to the cafe-confectioner's "Sweet tooth".
The successor to Georg Stude's company, the confectionery company "Kalev", established a marzipan museum-room here and is about to establish a museum of sweets in the building."
