    No. 780 is the second half of a semi-detached pair with No. 778, one of seven double houses that W.C. Dickerson designed in 1897 for George F. Johnson along Dawson Street's east side. Rounded bays sit beside the pair's central entries and stoops, and paneled keystones top the second-story windows. The commission noted that the same design appears at Nos. 756-758 Beck Street.
