The Refreshment Pavilion is a historic refreshment stand at Houghton's Pond in the Milton portion of Blue Hills Reservation, a Massachusetts state park. It is a single-story rectangular stone structure with a gable roof. Oculus windows are set in the gables, surrounded by louvered openings, and there are covered pergola-like porches extending from some of its sides supported by slatted supporting columns.[2] The building was designed by the firm of Stickney and Austin, who also designed six other structures in the Blue Hills Reservation:[3]

It was built in 1920 on the site of the Ralph Houghton house which was built in 1690 and demolished in 1896 to make way for the development of the Blue Hills Reservation It was added to the National Register of Historic Places as Refreshment Pavillion on September 25, 1980.[1] It is still in use as a refreshment stand.
