The Ransom Everglades School "Pagoda" is a historic school building in
The Pagoda was built in 1902 as the principal structure for a school first known as Pine Knot Camp[2] by the Buffalo, New York architects Green and Wicks. It has been described as looking "about as Chinese as a hamburger".[3] Later the name of the school was changed to the Adirondack-Florida School and then Ransom School and finally, Ransom Everglades after merging with "The Everglades School for Girls" in 1974.[4]
Classes are occasionally taught in the Pagoda, although it now consists of mostly offices. Meetings and other events are also regularly held in the Pagoda.
