Ransom School "Pagoda", Historic school building in Coconut Grove, Miami, United States
The Pagoda building stands at 3575 Main Highway, constructed from local pine with a chimney of brick and oolitic limestone.
Paul Ransom established Pine Knot Camp in 1896, which later became the Adirondack-Florida School, the first two-campus migratory boarding school in America.
The Frame Vernacular architecture with Chinese influences reflects the educational evolution of Miami-Dade County at the beginning of the 20th century.
The structure sits on 39 piers made of native oolitic limestone, positioned on a sloping ridge that provides views of Biscayne Bay.
The building received its National Register of Historic Places designation in 1973 and now functions as the Head of School's office and event space.
