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, then Ransom School, and finally Ransom Everglades after merging with The Everglades School for Girls in 1974.[4]
