    No. 947 forms a pair with No. 943, built in 1897 to the designs of W.C. Dickerson for George F. Johnson as part of a row of eight two-family houses; Nos. 935 and 945 were left out of the street numbering. The 1980 designation report ranks the row among the earliest Dickerson-designed houses in the Longwood district.
