There are a lot of great memories here though. I invite all of you to visit the history section on the Oakdale website and add your memories to the section on Broncho Charlie Miller and Bronco Charlie's Restaurant.

I grew up in Sayville, rented one of the converted Duck Houses for a while and am not living in beautiful Saratoga Springs. I am working on an assignment on rowhouses for my Architectural History course and have decided that the Artist Colony is perfect. I have found some very old photos but am looking for some more recent ones. Any help would be appreciated!! I am desparately looking for photographics of the Artist Colony at Idle Hour.

It is ashame that Dowling did not find the resources to preserve Bronco Charlie's as a landmark or find a use for it. To see it torn down is a very sad thing. I think there are many of us, both employees and patrons who will fondly remember the restaurant and wish something more could have been done to prevent the tragedy.
