Census takers find most of the street's houses owned by the families living in them
By the 1920 census, owners lived in 31 of the 36 houses in what is now the Stockholm Street Historic District, usually keeping one flat and renting out the other. Men on the block worked as machinists, printers, drivers, brewers, construction workers, policemen, firemen and subway motormen, and several at the Brooklyn Navy Yard. Women with jobs tended to be stenographers, typists, seamstresses, store clerks or teachers.

The house keeps its curved front, wood porch and double entry doors, though its lower stories are painted

The Landmarks Preservation Commission's survey for the Stockholm Street Historic District found a curved three-bay brick front whose basement and first story had been painted, as had the brick stoop. The porch across the front still had Doric columns and square spindles, and the historic wood-and-glass double doors survived, along with rock-faced limestone lintels and a pressed-metal cornice. The window sash, the iron fence and gate and the window security grilles were not historic.
