In 1899, as George Johnson developed Kelly Street between East 156th Street and Longwood Avenue, Warren C. Dickerson designed the six semi-detached, two-family houses on its east side. No. 750 is joined to No. 752, and the two halves were laid out as mirror images with paired entrances at the center and bays at either side.
“…each pair was built in a mirror image, with central entrances and flanking round or three-sided bays.”

Carved swan's-neck pediments set the No. 750-752 pair apart on Kelly Street
Nos. 750-752 follow the general design of Nos. 734-736 but differ in their details, according to the Landmarks Preservation Commission. Carved swan's-neck pediments crown the front doors, similar to those at Nos. 782-784 Dawson Street, and the second-story windows sit under splayed lintels with long, paneled keystones.
