Indian Neck Hall was built in 1900 for Frederick G. Bourne, the Singer sewing machine magnate. It once had a water tower that supplied the needs of the entire estate. In 1926, the property was purchased by the De LaSalle Congregation of Brothers, who transformed it into the La Salle Military Academy. In 1999, St. John's University acquired the mansion.
