There were several schools, shops and also a rental house and overnight accommodation in the city, as well as two churches, a third was built in 1928. In the wake of the Great Depression in the 1930s , many residents left Stockholm and many of the sawmills were closed. Today there are still three churches in Stockholm (Catholic, Evangelical-Lutheran and Baptist). However, the school had to close in 2004.
