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. They are simple, two-floor, two-bay brick rowhouses, built towards the end of the District's historic period (1915). "These houses were owner-occupied by 1920. Three of the homeowners were African American." (A. Hoagland)
No. 963 is the end unit of this row and has windows facing K Street. The front door has lost its transom. The houses has lintels over the windows and doors. It continues the cornice line of its adjoining house.
