Several builders cooperated on uniform setbacks, scale and materials, and Louis Berger and Co. designed all of the rows. Stockholm Street has Ridgewood's only surviving cobblestone street and a distinctive streetscape of columned porches.","narrative":"Seventy-nine row houses along Stockholm Street, DeKalb Avenue and Hart Street in Ridgewood, Queens, form a compact district built between 1905 and 1921 next to Linden Hill Cemetery. Most are two-story brick buildings with one apartment per floor, finished in iron-spot brick with cast-stone trim, pressed metal cornices and ornate ironwork. Stockholm Street stands out for its light brown cobblestone pavement, the only surviving cobblestone street in Ridgewood, and for continuous rows of three-bay porches with Tuscan columns. The towers of nearby Saint Aloysius Church close the view at the street's western end. Builders Joseph Weiss, John E. Ballweg, John M. Meyer and Jacob Jaeger cooperated on uniform setbacks, scale and materials, and Louis Berger and Co., Ridgewood's most prolific architectural firm, designed every row. The district was recognized as an intact example of working-class housing from the neighborhood's main development period, with changes limited mostly to new doors, stoops and awnings.","period_of_significance":"1905-1921","architect_builder":"Louis Berger and Co.
