    No. 937 is half of a two-family pair with No. 933 in a row of eight houses on the north side of East 156th Street that W.C. Dickerson designed for George F. Johnson in 1897, among the earliest Dickerson houses in Longwood. The Landmarks Preservation Commission found in 1980 that the pair matched the design of 767-769 Dawson Street and kept every original element.
