The 756-758 Beck Street pair stands out from its row with round bays and conical roofs
No. 756 and its twin No. 758 are one of seven pairs that Warren C. Dickerson designed in 1900 for George F. Johnson on the east side of Beck Street, but unlike the rest of their blockfront they have rounded bays capped by conical roofs. Ionic pilasters set on carved corbels flank the bay windows, and long stone voussoirs and keystones top the tall, narrow windows. The original double doors of wood and glass, under transoms, sit within decorative stone moldings, and steep stoops lead up over high basements. The 1980 report found the pair unaltered except for a new roof covering on No. 758.
