    No. 956 East 156th Street is part of a group of three two-family house pairs that Warren C. Dickerson designed for George F. Johnson & Sons in 1899. It forms an end pair with No. 952 (No. 954 was left out of the numbering). The 1980 Longwood designation report compared these houses to ones on Dawson Street, describing steep stoops between rounded bays with low conical roofs.
