    No. 774 belongs to a row of seven semi-detached pairs on the east side of Dawson Street that Dickerson drew for the developer George F. Johnson in 1897. It and No. 776 share a design with Nos. 762-764: two and a half stories over a high basement, angular bays on either side of a central stoop, Composite pilasters at the doors and rough-cut stone arches in the Romanesque Revival manner. The Landmarks commission called the pair remarkably intact.

    “Nos. 762-764 and 774-776 have the same original design ... Both pairs of houses are remarkably intact…”
