When people in Western New York hear the name 'Schoellkopf' they might associate it with many different things: the Schoellkopf Power Plant that collapsed into the Niagara River in 1956; the Schoellkopf Geological Museum; the Schoellkopf Health Center with the adjoining Schoellkopf Park; or Schoellkopf Hall at the former DeVeaux School.
