    Warren C. Dickerson pairs this house with No. 712 behind angled bays and Romanesque arches

    No. 714 is half of a semi-detached pair that Warren C. Dickerson designed in 1900 for the developer George F. Johnson, part of a row of eight double houses on the east side of Beck Street. Its Roman brick front has limestone trim, three-sided bays under peaked polygonal roofs, arched second-story windows and slender twisted rope columns between the bays. When the Longwood district was designated in 1980, the house had lost its original scalloped roof shingles to replacement.
