Too Many Dwellings Have
Been Altered Into Suites;
There Are 100000 Base

There are approximately 10000 base
ment houses in Brooklyn, according to
George s. Horton, president Of the
Bulkiey & Horton Company. They
were quite the vogue until 1905. Prior
to that time there was considerable diff
ficulty In disposlng Of any other type
of house, especially the American base
ment house, which was just beginning
to make its appearance.
From 1906 to 1910 the demand was
July l., 1918, they were absolutely a
be sol dat 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, bringing about
40 per cent increase in value over 1914,
wit hlarge amount OF cash. To-day
the average basement house is bring
ing 80 per cent higher price than the
selling price of 1917, with small
amount Of cash. The majority of these
houses are twenty feet wide, although
on the Heights they are usually twen-
ty-five feet.
In the last few years 5000 basement
houses have been altered into one and
two room apartments, costing any
where from $4,000 to $1,000 for alter
ations and renting readily from $40 to
$50 a room. There is break of rents
in this style of building in Brooklyn
to-day and number of vacancies. The
supply exceeds the demand.
The older type of basement houses
are now rented out as furnished rooms

"In all probability more than
fifty thousand new property own

taxpayers since 1918 in greater

have small equities. Many of
these equities are in homes, of
which probably a majority were
bought on the installment plan.
Any additional take burden would
bring disaster upon these owners.
Men in authority should hesitate

Proposed Brooklyn Structure
Will Seat $500 and Have
Ten Floors of Offices

Brooklyn is to be given q new Or
pheum Theater, structure that will
seat $500 and cost with the site $1,000
600. The new show house will serve as
memorial to the late B. F. Keith,
originator of modern vaudeville and
the Keith Circuit, according to Ed
ward F. Albee, president of the B. F.
Keith Vaudeville Circuit.
The entire block between Dekalb
Avenue, Fleet, Prince and Gold streets,
opposite the marble building Of the
Dime Savings Bank, has been selected
as the site for the new theater develop
ment. Part of the structure will be
used for Offices and will be ten stories
high. The foundations and skeleton
Of the building will be built to hold an
additional ten stories which the the
atrical combination expects to erect in
the near future.
The construction of the theater has
been delayed by the inability Of the
company to secure several properties
in the block. There were sixteen sepa-
rate parcels covered by buildings re-
garded as local landmarks. Twelve OF
these had been secured before it was
l.learned that the property was being
acquired for theater and office build
ing i,nprovem ent. The owners of the
remaining properties fixed their prices
accordingly.
The entrance to the theater will be
from DeKalb Avenue. Stores will line
the lobby and the avenue frontage.
Thomas Lamb, architect, has designed
the dual structure.
