LESS DEMAND FOR
BASEMENT HOUSES
Brooklyn Has About 40, of
Obsolete Type Of Dwelling:
Prices Declining.
by GEORGE S. HORTON.

President Of BuUley G. Horton co.
There are approximately 10000 base
ment houses in Brooklyn. They were
quite the vogue until 1905. Prior to that
time there was considerable difficulty in
disposing OF any other type of house
especially the new American basement
house which was just beginning to make
its appearance.
considerably less. From 1910 TO July
l. 1918, they were absolutely drug
on the market and could scarcely be
sold at any figure. Due to the housing
shortage the basement house came into
its own and in the early part OF 1920
the peak of the crisis was reached, bring
ing about 40 per cent. increase in value
over 1914. with a large amount OF cash.
To-day the average basement house Is
bringing 80 per cent. higher price, than
the selling price of 1917 with a small
amount of cash. The majority of these
houses are twenty feet wide. although
on the Heights they are usually twenty
five
During the last few years there have
been about 5000 basement houses al
tered into one and two room and bath
apartments. costing anywhere from
1000 to $4,000 for alterations. and
lonting readily from $40 to $50 room.
There is break of rents in this style
OF building in Brooklyn to-day and a
number of vacancies. The supply ex-
ceeds the demand.
The demand for this style house is
growing less each year on account of
the servant problem, whereas every one
wishes the easy housekeeping style of
home. Inasmuch as the one and two
room and bath situation has been over
done, eventually the old basement houses
will be converted into two and three
family houses or furnished room houses.
