NEW. BUILDINGS GO UP ON MIGHTS Hotel Facilities Being 'Enlarged by Erection of Additions. BUSINESS CROWDS HOMES. Notable Religious Shrine Adjoining Old Plymouth. A considerable -number of new structures of importance going up In the Heights region will add much to the permanent features of the borough.

The doubling in size of the Hotel Bossert, at Hicks and Montague streets, by adding the portion provided for In the original plans extending to Remsen street, gives a stately and dignified structure that equals anything of similar character In the entire city. The change that has been effected since the old Plerre-pont House gave way to this entirely Umodern twelve-story steel structure marks the advance of Brooklyn since the Introduction of subway transit. In like manner the Hotel St. George marked the progress of the develop ment on this side of the East River following the construction or the Brooklyn Bridge and It too is now enlarging its borders and is having constructed a notable addition at Pineapple and Henry syets. This Is eight stories In hetifTit and will add to aonsiderabledegrce to the capacity orHhls hostelry, which now covers nearly the entire brock bounded by Clark, Hicks, Pineapple and Henry streets.

The diversified architecture of the sections erected at different times, prevents the structure fr making manifest Its gVeat size or from presenting an Imposing architectural effect, but this does not militate against its comfort and convenience for hotel purpose a By the construction of a new en trance to its edifice at Clinton and Plerrepont streets, the Brooklyn Savings Bank has returned to Fulton street, where it was formerly so marked a feature when its building, still standing at the corner of Con cord street, was occupied for banking purposes. The new Pulton street entrance to the banki comes out nearly opposite Johnson street and takes In a frontage long occupied for business purposes. The banil building, erected more than a score ol years ago. occupies what was oncethe site 6f the First Baptist ChurctX In Plerrepont street, now Baptist Telpple, at Schermerhorn btreet and Third avenue. Before the church thaf was taken down had been erected there, a previous structure had occupied the site.

known at that time as the "Church Edifice." and used for public purposes. It hal been built for a Baptist congregation, which "later consolidated with the First Church In Nassau A noteworthy addition to the busi ness buildings in the vicinity of the Borough Hall is the hew 12-story structure at the southwest corner of Court and Joralemon streets. This rivals In height its neighbor on the opposite corner, which bears the name of Temple Bar, and the Me chanics' Bank Building at Montague. Court and Fulton streets. The new structure Is rapidly being enclosed with stone walls, supported by the steel framework, and it Is a site conveniently near the public offices in this borough and readily reached from all the public buildings In Manhattan by the subway, whose station is close to Its entrance.

The fine new eight-story structure of the Union Gas Company, adjoining its present office in Remsen street. Is nearing completion, and soon its offices will be added to the quota In that block of what was on of the finest residence parts of Brooklyn, now nearly altogether given over to business structures, either new or remodefcd from the former residences. The O'Connell and otKersj buildings of similar character opposite the Gas Building indicate the tendency to transform the entire block for business use Just as was done a few years sgo with Montague street. The plan for the erection of a 16-story structure on the site of the old Dime Savings Bank, at Court and Remsen streets has not been abandoned, and would doubtless long ago have been carried out If the atte were only a little longer, so that elevator room could be had without encroaching ton much on office space. While no new churches are bclnp erected in the Heights Section, there Is going up the most notable structure for religious uses in the entire borough at Hicks and Orange streets.

This is the Arbuckle-Beecher Memorial, for the social and settlement work of Plymouth Church, which has just celebrated the centennial of the birth of Its Henry Ward Beecher. The relatives of the late John Arbuckle provided the means, some 1350.000. for the joint tribute to his memory and that of Mr. Beecher. of whom he was a staunch supporter.

Ever since the Rev. Dr. Newell Dwlght Hiilis became pastor of Plymouth Church, more than a dosen years ago, succeeding Dr. Lyman Abbott, who fllied the pulpit and his editorial chair as well for ten years he ha entertained the Idea of establishing a memorial to Mr. Beecher Jn proximity to Plymouth Church The Arbuckle gift has enabled this plan to be carried out by providing the building for carrying on the sociological work of the churchi In a downtown district and to create a shrine between It and the church edifice, where with statues and-.

emblemic deslms the memory of the great Brooklyn preacher may be permanently honored. The first plan for a Beecfwr memorial in the vicinity of old Plymouth, provided for the purchase of property on the opposite side of Orange street and this -was secured, but with the Arbuckle Memorial plans that property was sold to a builder and aparo-ment are being erected on iL Other apartment structures are rising In different sections of the Heights and when the new subways to go under the East River from this section are completed. In two or three years, with two new stations more conveniently located than th present one, it is expected that every available plot will be tn demand for apartment house construction and that th majority of the private residence remaining In thfa part of the borough will give way to new buildings designed for many familiea Practically all th other will boarding house for the great new population drawn to thlsart of th city by convenient mean of transport to verr other section,.
