When Robert Hanlon and his wife, Jessica Frankel, bought the old Orient home on the Main Road that belonged to members of the Young family for generations, they knew it was very special. And they were determined to keep it that way.
The house, built in 1869, was a typical North Fork farmhouse. The land farmed by the Youngs extended to salt water north and south of the Main Road. Over the years, the farmland shrank as parcels were sold, but the house, other than a 1909 renovation, remained largely the same and stayed in Young hands until 1999.
