I grew up in Niagara Falls too. In fact I'm still growing up. There had been a Deveaux school in Niagara Falls. It was a military prep school for boys. I don't know if there was ever an orphanage component. The school was sold to Niagara University which used it as a Nursing school for awhile. This is no longer in operation. Niagara uses it for staging student plays. The grounds are used for Little League baseball. The University aart museum was house here , but is now at the campus, a half a mile away. Orphanage ??? Maybe before my time. Lou On Tue, 26 Aug 1997 20:50:43 -0400 [log in to unmask] writes: >I believe the Deveroux (spelling?) school for orphaned boys in Niagara >Falls >might interest you.
