No. 767 is part of seven semi-detached pairs on the west side of Dawson Street, Nos. 757 to 789, that W.C. Dickerson designed for George F. Johnson in 1898. Most were two-family houses, but the pairs at each end of the row rose three stories over a basement with flat roofs and were planned for three families.

Round bays and egg-and-dart doorways shape 767 Dawson Street
Nos. 767 and 769 have round bays under low conical roofs, doorways edged with egg-and-dart moldings, bands of rough-cut stone at parlor level and splayed stone lintels over the second-floor windows. At designation the doors had been replaced and a modern brick wall stood in front of the pair, though the Landmarks Commission still judged the houses a handsome part of the block.
