The intersection of Istedgade and Gasværksvej is marked by a distinctive building known as the Shoemakers Institution, or Skomagerstiftelsen, which sits on the corner. The structure is distinguished by an unusual, spiraling chimney atop its roof. This building was constructed in eighteen fifty-eight to provide housing for shoemakers who had fallen into difficult financial circumstances.
