They were built by architect Thomas Franklin Schneider (1859-1938), who designed about 2,000 buildings in the area, including the Cairo Apartment Building one block to the east. Schneider paid $175,000 for the land on the north side of the street and developed the entire block at once.[1]

The houses are part of the Dupont Circle Historic District as listed on the National Register of Historic Places.[2]
