In 1901, the shell souvenir maker Detlev Hauschildt had the house modernized in the style of the time and the windows, doors and corners decorated with shells that he bought in the port of Hamburg and processed into souvenirs. This is why the house is popularly known as the "shell house". Hans-Günter Kiene later moved in here with his tax office.

As early as January 1892, Detlev Hauschildt had the so-called shell stone, which originally stood on a small elevation in a bent wall near the Vaasbüttel brickworks, set up in front of his "shell house". He bought it for six marks and had it brought to its current location on a sleigh pulled by eight horses; the transport was much more expensive than the purchase, namely 330.00 marks. The shell stone is a granite block that is two meters high and has a circumference of 5.20m. It tapers towards the top and has many small, bowl-shaped depressions on its surface. It is also a prehistoric sacrificial stone with man-made depressions to collect the blood of the sacrificial animals.
