    No. 959 is built as half of a pair in George F. Johnson's row

    Nos. 959-961 East 156th Street form a pair in a five-house row that Warren C. Dickerson designed for developer George F. Johnson, dated 1889 in the Longwood report. The pair repeats the design of Nos. 939-941 East 156th Street, and when the district was designated in 1980 the report found the original elements of these two houses fully intact.
