George Johnson developed Kelly Street in 1899, and that year the architect Warren C. Dickerson designed the six semi-detached, two-family double houses on the east side between Nos. 734 and 756. No. 746 is paired with No. 748, and like the other pairs the two halves mirror each other, with entrances at the center and bays to either side. The street was named for Captain Samuel Kelly, whose farm adjoined Longwood Park early in the nineteenth century.

1980
Landmarks report finds No. 746 refaced in imitation stone siding
Read more
When the Landmarks Preservation Commission described the Longwood Historic District in 1980, it noted that Nos. 746-748 repeat the design of Nos. 734-736 further down the block: three-sided bays under conical roofs, keyed stone surrounds at the doors, and arched windows set between colonettes. At No. 746, though, the report found that imitation stone siding had changed the house's original character.
