on either side of number 37 are lilla hoparegränd ("smaller heaper's alley", a corruption of "hoper's alley", e.g. hooper indicating a profession, 'maker of barrels') and pelikansgränd ("pelican's alley"), both forking off from gaffelgränd ("fork alley"). while the building is standing on a medieval wall, the façade is from the 18th century, and the portal from the 17th century. the latter was probably cut by johan wendelstam, a german sculptor who arrived to stockholm in 1641 to become the guild master within a few years, and also cut one of the portals on stortorget. the client was apparently dutch as the inscription on the gable stone reads: "gaet het wel men heeft veel vrinden kert het luck wie kan se vinden" ("when luck stands by one have a lot of friends, but when luck turns where are they then?"). behind the front door is an entrance hall featuring a richly profiled sandstone column carrying a cross-vault. the façade of number 24 dates back to 1862, the shutters and wooden panels from that time however replaced by the rough-cast plaster probably in 1945, and the windows enlarged since. the rusticated façade of number 26 dates back to the enlargement in 1846, at the time it was however perfectly symmetric, a balance manipulated in 1973 when the enlarged opening and wooden panel of the restaurant entrance was added. the northern door, still featuring some original details, gives a fair impression of what the façade looked like in the 19th century. the façade of number 28, arguably one of the oldest still existent residential properties in stockholm, is mostly from 1874 with some details replaced in 1969.
