C. Bull had No. 776 built in 1908, one of a row of eight two-and-a-half-story single-family houses on Hewitt Place, all drawn by Charles S. Clark, an architect from the Bronx. The landmarks report on the area describes the flat, splayed stone lintels with keystones over the windows as neo-Federal in style, set against red brick, and notes the hip-roofed dormers of three windows each.

No. 776 was included in the Longwood Historic District designated by the Landmarks Preservation Commission on July 8, 1980. The report noted that the wooden porch posts Clark originally gave the row had been replaced with iron ones at Nos. 776 through 780.
