German immigrant families fill the new two-family houses on Stockholm Street
The 1910 and 1920 censuses show that the first people living in the district's houses, this row among them, were mostly born in Germany or had German parents. Typical households were married couples who had crossed from Germany in the 1880s or 1890s, raising American-born children. A smaller share traced their roots to Ireland, Sweden, Poland and Hungary.
“Early occupants of the houses, according to census information from 1910 and 1920, were mostly German-born or of German ancestry.”

When the Stockholm Street Historic District was designated in November 2000, the commission's survey noted that 1892 still had its full-width wooden porch with Doric columns and square spindles, its historic double wood-and-glass entry door and historic wood window sash. The curved front is topped by a pressed-metal cornice with swags, dentils and scrolled brackets; the gate and fence were not historic.
