Each Stockholm Street house is built with two apartments, one on each floor
Houses like 1893 Stockholm Street were built as two-family homes with an unfinished basement. The ground-floor flat had five rooms and the upper flat six, because it gained a room over the entry hall below; both had a full bathroom with a tub. By 1920, 31 of the district's 36 houses were lived in by their owners, who usually rented the other floor.

1893 Stockholm Street closes its row with an angled bay instead of a curved one
The commission's 2000 survey recorded 1893 as the one house in its row of seven with an angled front, unlike the curved fronts recorded for 1881 through 1891. It keeps a historic graystone stoop, a wood porch with Doric columns and square spindles, historic double wood-and-glass doors, rock-faced limestone lintels and a pressed-metal cornice.
