The City of Burlington began the restoration of the deteriorating pavilion in 1994, but shortly after completing the main floor terrace and re-opening it in the spring of 1995, a massive fire destroyed the building on 19 May, leaving only the concrete basement intact.

Happily, though, just two short years later, an exact replica of the original pavilion was built, including the red tile roof. The long-vacant second floor was re-opened as a meeting and banquet facility.
