771 Dawson Street sits in a row whose numbering skips 765, 775 and 785
No. 771 belongs to the row of seven double houses Dickerson designed in 1898 for George F. Johnson on the west side of Dawson Street. The row runs from No. 757 to No. 789, but the street numbering leaves out Nos. 765, 775 and 785, so the house numbers jump along the block.

The Landmarks Commission found Nos. 771 and 773 identical to the double house at 724-726 Beck Street, a design that turns up elsewhere in the district too. The only change it recorded at No. 771 was a modern replacement for the original front door.
