    Dickerson gives No. 716 and its twin a shared Ionic portico with a leafy frieze

    Warren C. Dickerson designed No. 716 and its mirror-image partner, No. 718, in 1900 for George F. Johnson. The pair has rounded bays capped by low conical roofs rising from a mansard front, and a shallow portico of three Ionic columns on paneled pedestals carries one entablature across both front doors. A foliate pattern decorates the portico frieze, the only detail that sets this pair apart from Nos. 720-722 next door, which have a carved swag instead.
