When the 1920 census reached this stretch of Stockholm Street, 31 of its 36 houses were lived in by their owners, who typically rented the second apartment to a tenant. Adult men there mostly held blue-collar jobs as machinists, construction workers, brewers, firemen, police officers and subway conductors; several were employed by the Navy at the Brooklyn Navy Yard and only a few in sales or real estate.

The Landmarks Preservation Commission's description for the Stockholm Street Historic District recorded a curved three-bay brick front with a newer brick stoop and iron railings. The wood porch with Doric columns and square spindles still stood, and the double wood-and-glass entry doors were historic. Historic wood sash survived only at the basement, with replacements on the upper floors, below a pressed-metal cornice of swags, dentils and scrolled brackets.
