Hamlin Babcock files a map dividing the farm where 1877 Stockholm Street now stands
Before the row houses, this stretch of Ridgewood was the Babcock farm, a rectangle of fields bordered by wooden fences and stone walls beside Linden Hill Cemetery. On November 19, 1891, Hamlin Babcock filed a map subdividing it, and streets including Stockholm, Harman, Himrod and Stanhope, which cross the county line from Brooklyn, were later mapped through the property, with blocks cut into standard 100-foot-deep lots. None of the farm's few buildings survive.

The landmark survey of 2000 found its historic wrought- and cast-iron fence and gate still standing, and a historic graystone stoop that retained its wrought-iron railings and cast-iron newel posts. The curved front also kept its full-width porch with Doric columns and square spindles, double wood-and-glass doors, and a pressed-metal cornice with swags and scrolled brackets.
