Ang kaakit-akit at maayos na inalagaan na 3-silid-tulugan, 2-banyo na Makasaysayang Landmark na ito ay matatagpuan sa hinahangad na Village Lane, isang pambansang makasaysayang distrito sa baybaying nayon ng Orient. Kilala bilang The Hale House, ang nakakahimok na tahanang ito, na may magagandang malalawak na kahoy at hardwood na sahig, ay orihinal na itinayo noong 1781 at itinuturing na isa sa mga unang paaralan sa Orient. Isang panday at Justice of the Peace na nagngangalang Francis Young ang kumuha ng pagmamay-ari nito at noong 1932, binili ito ni Herbert Hale at lubos na nirepaso at pinalawig sa kasalukuyan nitong estado. Ito ay pinahalagahan at in-update sa paglipas ng mga taon. Sa dulo ng Village Lane ay isang masiglang General Store na may malapit na ginagamit na harapang beranda, ang post office, isang aktibong Community Hall, Orient Yacht Club, at ang kahanga-hangang Oysterponds Historic Society complex. Ang Truman's Beach, isang tindahan ng kendi, mga farmstand, mga winery, golf, marinas, at Orient State Park ay ilang hakbang lamang ang layo at ang Village of Greenport ay 5 milya sa kanluran. Bagaman parang naglakbay ka sa oras patungo sa isang espesyal at bukolik na lugar, ang Jitney stop mula sa Manhattan at ang Ferry patungong New England ay maginhawang malapit! Tunay na isang kaaya-ayang, nakakaakit na komunidad sa North Fork!
