In 1897, [[Frederick Gilbert Bourne]], who began with {{convert|438|acre|km2}} but later owned land reaching to [[West Sayville, New York|West Sayville]], completed his mansion, [[Indian Neck Hall]], on the east side of Oakdale. Bourne was active locally, as commodore of the [[Sayville Yacht Club]], and was generous to the local fire department. The eastern part of his estate now comprises the West Sayville County Golf Course and the Long Island Maritime Museum, while much of the middle portion is developed with homes. Bourne died in 1920. Six years later the mansion, on the western end, became the site of [[La Salle Military Academy]], operated by the Christian Brothers, a Catholic order. In 1993, the brothers converted the academy into a kindergarten-through-high-school "global learning community". In 2001, La Salle was closed and it was bought by St. John's University of New York.
