No. 1133 closes a group of six two-family houses, Nos. 1123 through 1133 Forest Avenue, that architect Warren C. Dickerson drew up in 1902 for investor William Crockett. The estimated cost was $8,000 per house. Crockett and Archibald Hamilton later had Dickerson design Nos. 1115-1121 on the same block, completed in 1903.

1902
No. 1133 repeats a Dickerson house design with paired round-arched windows over its balcony
Read more
Dickerson reused one facade several times on this block: Nos. 1131-1133 match Nos. 1123-1125 and follow the pattern of Nos. 1115-1117. The difference here is a pair of round-arched windows set above the bay's balcony, where Nos. 1115-1117 have a three-part square window. The Landmarks Preservation Commission credited such repeated, recombined motifs with giving the street both unity and variety.
