Machinists, brewers and Navy Yard workers live in the Stockholm Street houses in 1920
In the 1920 census, owners lived in 31 of the district's 36 houses, a group that included this row, usually taking one floor and renting out the other. Men on the street worked as machinists, printers, drivers, brewers, police officers, firefighters and subway motormen, and several at the Brooklyn Navy Yard. Women who worked were mostly stenographers, typists, seamstresses, store clerks or teachers.

The landmarks survey of 2000 found that 1894, which has an angled front unlike the curved one beside it, still stood behind its historic wrought- and cast-iron fence and gate. Its graystone stoop, resurfaced and painted, retains historic wrought-iron railings with cast-iron newel posts, and the full-width wood porch and historic double wood-and-glass doors also survive.
