No. 962 East 156th Street is one of the end pairs in a group of six two-family houses that Warren C. Dickerson designed for George F. Johnson & Sons in 1899. With No. 966 (No. 964 was dropped from the numbering) it has rounded bays under low conical roofs, steep stoops and tall windows, a design the Longwood report found nearly identical to Nos. 767-769 Dawson Street.
