    No. 722 is half of a semi-detached pair with No. 720, one of eight double houses Warren C. Dickerson designed in 1900 for George F. Johnson along the east side of Beck Street. A high stoop leads to the paired entrances under a swag-carved Ionic portico, and Ionic columns frame the bay windows on the parlor and second floors. The 1980 designation report noted that the house still had its scalloped roof shingles and double wood-and-glass front doors with transom lights.

    “All four houses retain their original scalloped roof shingles and double wood-and-glass front doors crowned by transom lights.”
