The finish carpentry restoration efforts for each pavilion required extensive, meticulous work. The design team outlined the scope of work and relied on the carpenter to recreate the original details based on remaining historic materials. As these projects were undertaken as a restoration effort, bringing the ornament of the pavilions back to their original condition was of the highest priority and the carpenter exceeded expectations.

To aid in the patching of wood detailing, a wood epoxy was specified by the design team. Used extensively, this was a new product for the finish carpenter and served to benefit the project in terms of maximizing retention of historic material. Both pavilions received structural improvements to the wood columns requiring custom shoring to accommodate the delicate roof structural systems. The Turkish Pavilion required the most substantial shoring as the entire structure was supported while new foundations were poured beneath the outer ring of cast iron columns.
