1891
A wood house rises on the former Babcock farm, the oldest building in the district
Hamlin Babcock filed a map on November 19, 1891, dividing his farm beside the Linden Hill Cemetery into lots, and Brooklyn streets including Stockholm Street were then mapped across it. The frame house at 1865 Stockholm Street went up sometime between 1891 and 1903, making it the oldest building in the Stockholm Street Historic District. The brick row houses around it followed only from 1907 on.

1927
A one-story brick garage is added beside the old frame house
A one-story garage with brick columns and a parapet capped in stone coping was built on the lot in 1927-28, with a cement block north wall. By the time of the 2000 designation the two-story frame house itself had been covered in synthetic siding and fitted with new sash, though it kept its bracketed wood cornice.
“Garage (built 1927-28): Brick columns and parapet with stone coping; non-historic doors; cement block north elevation.”
