while the sandstone on the ground level of number 19 is 18th century in style, it was unveiled in the 1960s, the building however received much of its present appearance in 1876. during the following decades, the proprietors then started to add and relocate the doors of the building, sealing one door to replace a window with a new door, ten years later reverting the arrangement – in many aspects typical for the faith of the buildings in the old town. the building was occupied by the tavern "riga" during the 17th and 18th century, and during 60 years from 1917 by a sail loft. south of number 19 is skottgränd, an alley named after the scotsmen who settled here in the 17th century, supposedly to own their living either as merchants or warriors. on number 2 was the tavern "bacchus" in the early 18th century, number 6 was a storage as the still operational derrick show, and over the door of number 3 is the inscription , roughly: 'a dominion doesn't make a lord, but a lord makes a domesticity'. one of the two shuttered windows on the southern side has iron detailing 17th century in style, but both of them are from 1873 when the façade of number 21 was completed together with its portal feature featuring sculptural leaf garland and ductile wooden decorations. next to the vault leading to stora hoparegränd (a name derived from hooper, the profession of making barrels; english: cooper) is just enough space for the narrow front door of number 23; the portal of which is 18th century in style but was added to the building probably in the mid-19th century, a few decades before the shop door got flanked by its fluted wooden pilasters.
