The 1980's, A Time of Change


The 1980's would see additions to the core business of Pioneer Handcraft like never before. As the demand for our design services rose an interior design division was established. This division was to handle design and resort work on a commercial level.

In 1985, Country Inn Design was commissioned to undertake its largest project to date, the complete interior restoration of Windermere House on Lake Rosseau in Muskoka, Ontario. The century old country inn turned out to be both a pleasure and a challenge to restore, and the resulting work transforming. Regrettably Windermere House burned to the ground nearly 10 years later, but the successful project helped to further establish the name of Pioneer Handcraft in Muskoka, Ontario, and Canada. In 1987 a branch showroom in Port Carling, Muskoka Ontario was established to provide access and service to a growing market.
