    No. 789 closes the west Dawson Street row as a near mirror of the pair at its south end

    Architect W.C. Dickerson bookended his 1898 row on the west side of Dawson Street with two nearly identical three-family pairs, Nos. 757-759 and Nos. 787-789. According to the landmarks report, the only differences are the front doors and the ornament in the cornice friezes: Nos. 757-759 have multi-paned doors, while Nos. 787-789 have double glass doors under transom lights.
