1899
No. 752 goes up as the mirror half of a Dickerson double house for George Johnson
Warren C. Dickerson designed the east side of Kelly Street's Longwood block in 1899 as six two-family double houses, the same year George Johnson developed the street. No. 752 is the twin of No. 750: as in each of Dickerson's Longwood pairs, the doors meet in the middle and round or angular bays frame the outer edges.

1899
No. 752 shares swan's-neck door pediments and keystoned lintels with No. 750
The Landmarks Preservation Commission describes Nos. 750-752 as a variation on the design of Nos. 734-736 nearby. What distinguishes them are the carved swan's-neck pediments above the entrances, a motif also found at Nos. 782-784 Dawson Street, and the splayed lintels with elongated paneled keystones over the second-floor windows.
“…splayed lintels with elongated, paneled keystones that crown the second story windows.”
