    No. 776 and its twin at No. 778 were part of the fourteen-house row Dickerson designed for George F. Johnson in 1900. The commission says the pair was first built to the same design as Nos. 760-762, 752-754 and 724-726 Beck Street. Its 1980 report found the houses covered in stone siding but still keeping their arched moldings, carved impost bands at the second story and cornice.

    “Nos. 768-770 and Nos. 776-778 originally had designs identical to the houses at Nos. 724-726, 752-754, and 760-762 Beck Street.”
