    The Landmarks Preservation Commission's 1980 Longwood report dates the design of the row at Nos. 957-967 East 156th Street to 1889, crediting architect W.C. Dickerson and developer George F. Johnson. The report notes that the numbers 955 and 963 were then skipped in the street numbering, and it pairs the houses at Nos. 963-967 with an identical group across the street at Nos. 952-956.

    “This row of five residences was designed in 1889 by W.C. Dickerson and built for George F . Johnson.”
