No. 774 is one of eight single-family homes that C. Bull had built on Hewitt Place in 1908 from plans by the Bronx architect Charles S. Clark. Each house is reached by a short stoop up to a hip-roofed porch at parlor level, set to the left of a two-story angled bay, with red brick walls under a mansard-fronted attic.
