Census returns from 1910 and 1920 found the houses on this block occupied mainly by German immigrants and their families. Typically the parents had come over from Germany in the 1880s or 1890s, while their children, from infants to young adults, had been born in New York. Some neighbors had roots in Ireland, Sweden, Poland or Hungary instead.
“Early occupants of the houses, according to census information from 1910 and 1920, were mostly German-born or of German ancestry.”

The house has an enclosed first-story porch with stained-glass transoms and a brick-stepped stoop
The Landmarks Preservation Commission's survey of the Stockholm Street Historic District found that this house had an enclosed first-story porch with a paneled base, multi-light stained-glass transoms and a molded cornice. Its graystone stoop had been altered with brick steps, and the main entrance door was a replacement. Historic wood sash survived on the second story under the pressed-metal cornice.
