History
A group of five row houses (955-963 25th St.) were built in 1911 by Harry A. Kite and designed by architect A.H. Beers with a standard L-shaped floor plan. "These houses were owner-occupied by 1920. Three of the homeowners were African American." (A. Hoagland)
They are simple, two-floor, two-bay brick rowhouses, built towards the end of the District's historic period (1915). No. 955 has a transom above the front door and the windows have stone lintels and brick sills. The house's cornice is simple box in style.
Resident/Owner
