No. 759 is half of a two-family pair with No. 761, one of seven pairs on the west side of Beck Street that Warren C. Dickerson designed for George F. Johnson & Sons, built in 1900. The landmarks report says this row echoes many of the houses across the street, and it lists the 759-761 pair as matching Dickerson's design at Nos. 716-718, a design that also appears at Nos. 755-757 and 767-769. That design sets rounded bays under low conical roofs and joins the two front doors under one shallow portico of three Ionic columns.
