Lasata

Lasata was the childhood summer home of future First Lady of the United States Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis in East Hampton, New York until she was about 12.

The two-story, gray-stucco mansion (also known as the George Schurman house) at 121 Further Lane was built in 1917 on 12 acres (4.9 ha) two blocks from the Atlantic Ocean and three blocks from the Maidstone Club.

Included on the grounds was a stable for 8 acres (3.2 ha), tack room, jumping ring and paddock, extensive vegetable gardens, a grape arbor and Maude's "Italian garden," edged with boxwood and dotted with classical statues.

The house belonged to Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis's paternal grandparents John Vernou Bouvier Jr. (referred to as "the Major") and Maude Sergeant Bouvier. The Bouviers' first summer residence in East Hampton was a simple house called Wildmoor, on Apaquogue Road in Georgica, which the Major bought about 1910. In 1925 the Major's wife, Maude Sergeant (whose family line traces back to the Kent, England origins of East Hampton) bought the house. In 1926 the Bouviers joined the Maidstone Club. The Major was to formally buy the house from his wife in 1935 after inheriting money from his uncle Michel Charles "M. C." Bouvier.

The Bouviers said "Lasata" was a Native American name for "place of peace."

Jackie's father John Vernou Bouvier III married Janet Norton Lee at St. Philomena's Catholic Church in East Hampton on July 7, 1928. They stayed at the Major's family compound and also rented nearby. Jackie was born on July 28, 1929 at Southampton Hospital in Southampton, New York.
