Nos. 719-725 Beck Street are two pairs of two-and-a-half-story, two-family houses that Dickerson drew for George F. Johnson in 1900. Number 725 and its partner at 723 resemble the round-bayed pair at 756-758 across the street, but their second-floor bay windows are topped by long stone voussoirs and keystones.

Repairs strip carved ornament from 725 Beck Street, the 1980 landmark survey notes
Read more
The Longwood Historic District report of 1980 described Nos. 723-725 as altered. Repair work had cost the corbels beneath the bay-window pilasters on both houses their carvings, and at No. 725 the capitals of the second-story pilasters had lost their ornament as well.
“…as have the capitals of the second story pilasters at No. 725.”
