No. 933 is part of the row of eight two-family houses that W.C. Dickerson designed and George F. Johnson built on the north side of East 156th Street in 1897, among the earliest Dickerson houses in Longwood. It is paired with No. 937, since the number 935 was dropped from the street numbering, and the row is closed at each end by free-standing houses with round corner towers.

When the Longwood Historic District was designated in 1980, the commission reported that Nos. 933-937 kept all of their original elements, and it described the pair's design as identical to Nos. 767-769 Dawson Street. Elsewhere in the same row, No. 941 had lost its original front doors and No. 949 had a contemporary door and metal sheathing in place of its cornice.
