No. 788 is the northernmost of the fourteen houses, built as seven semi-detached pairs, that architect W.C. Dickerson designed for developer George F. Johnson on the east side of Dawson Street in 1897. It shares its pair with No. 786. The street itself was named for Henry B. Dawson, a historian of the nineteenth century who lived in Morrisania all his life.
“Nos. 762-788. Designed by W.C. Dickerson, this group of seven pairs of semi-detached residences was built for George F. Johnson in 1897.”
