231-26 125th Ave - Home of Stephen, Carole & Barry Dichter. Man was that house small. Probably 20'x 40'. 3 stories with part of the basement cut off by a one car garage so maybe 1000sqft in total - 5 people. The street adjacent (west) to our block was Francis Lewis and across FLB was old Montefiore Cemetary.  Our row of houses (true row houses) were built during WW-II at the north end of a potato farm. They are the only row houses of their style in the Laurelton area North of Merrick and were built after the Germans had landed a U-Boat off the south shore of Long Island. They were scared of the German invasion.

After the war, the land between 125th & 130th/131st saw detached homes being built. Our mom grew up in a house on the "other side" around 225th and 138th - I think the Sokolov's lived there. While my mom wasn't born in Laurelton, I do consider my self a 2nd generation Laureltonian.  Jackson had not yet been built when she went to HS so she went to Far Rock (Jackson sister school in design), graduated and joined the Navy as Dental Hygienist.
