"German immigrants of the 1840's and 1850's built stone row houses in Steinstown and some of the best of these can be seen on Steins Street, west of Pennsylvania. Brick houses were built later on Schirmer Street and other streets in the south part of Carondelet. These, like the earlier stone houses, are built in a characteristic German manner, close to the sidewalk and generally one and a half story in height."

"Back to back houses could also be constructed in rows, like the Steins Row, in the 200 block of Steins Street. The house has German coursed stone construction, with six-over-six windows and flat arches. The row consists of four individual houses, each with two rooms. Three of the four units contain a single door with a window on one side; one has a central door flanked by two windows. Originally, each house had a small dormer opening into a loft area; some have been removed."
