No. 774 is one of fourteen houses that architect W. C. Dickerson designed in seven pairs for George F. Johnson in 1900, lining the east side of Beck Street between East 156th Street and Longwood Avenue. The Landmarks Preservation Commission says Nos. 772-774 were designed to match Dickerson's pair at Nos. 756-758, which have round bays topped by conical roofs.
