Under the pulpit canopies, magnificent, multihued, inlaid-wood marquetry was discovered. For decades, the still-pristine wood had been covered by fabric installed to enhance the clergy's voices before the advent of modern acoustical systems. The canopies were produced by Eli Berman & Company. The pews and floors have also been carefully refinished to eliminate signs of wear.
