No. 768 is one of eight single-family houses that the Bronx architect Charles S. Clark designed for C. Bull, who had them built in 1908 on the east side of Hewitt Place. Each red brick house stands two and a half stories behind a small front garden, with a porch at parlor level beside a two-story angled bay and a dormered, mansard-fronted roof.

No. 768 joins the Longwood Historic District with a brick porch replacing its original one
The Landmarks Preservation Commission made Hewitt Place's east side part of the Longwood Historic District on July 8, 1980. Its report found Clark's row of 1908 houses somewhat altered but still reading as a continuous whole, and it named No. 768 and its neighbor No. 770 as the two houses that now had brick porches.
“Other alterations to the row include new doors at No. 780, brick porches at Nos. 768 and 770…”
