<< I grew up in Niagara Falls, and when I was a kid, the school was
 known as the Deveaux School and was not an orphanage, but a school for
 the "rich kids," that is, a school for well-to-do boys; no girls.It
 closed sometime in the 60s or 7 >>

The 1860 Census for New York calls it a school for orphaned boys.
