No. 772 and its twin at No. 774 were designed by W. C. Dickerson to match his pair at Nos. 756-758 Beck Street, part of the row of fourteen houses he drew in 1900 for George F. Johnson. That design paired round bays capped by conical roofs with Ionic pilasters, tall windows under elongated stone voussoirs and keystones, and double doors of wood and glass beneath transoms.

In its 1980 Longwood Historic District report, the Landmarks Preservation Commission contrasted the two halves of the Dickerson pair at Nos. 772-774. While No. 774 kept its original character, No. 772 had been refaced in imitation stone siding, and its original stone trim had been taken off.
