The facilities that the Society had in Ole Suhrs Gade were getting cramped. So a large villa toward the outskirts of Copenhagen, at 56 Søndre Fasanvej in Valby, was purchased, and the Bethel family moved to the new property on October 18, 1932.

Though the Society had for years carried on its work under the name “Vagttaarnets Bibel- og Traktatselskab” (Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society), it had never been necessary to form a legal association. Now an association was formed and registered on May 21, 1932. The property at Søndre Fasanvej served as the Society’s branch office, depot, and Bethel Home for the next 25 years.
