The 1920 census finds owner-occupants and German-born families on the block of 1883 Stockholm Street
Census records from 1910 and 1920 show that the first residents of these houses were mostly born in Germany or of German descent, typically couples who had arrived in the 1880s or 1890s with American-born children. In 1920, 31 of the block's 36 houses were lived in by their owners. The men worked as machinists, printers, brewers, police officers, firemen and subway motormen, some at the Brooklyn Navy Yard, while working women were often stenographers, seamstresses or teachers.
