Founding owners Sheila Marsh and Bill Blair began to craft and supply stained glass pieces from The Glass House's original location at 85 Princess Street in beautiful downtown Kingston. As one of the few businesses of this type in Canada, their creations were shipped all over North America. Sheila retired in 1999 and sold the business to Lynda and Craig MacRae.
Since that time, The Glass House has been re-located and is now appropriately located in an 1800's farmhouse on Sydenham Road; across from Cataraqui Cemetery. Owners Lynda & Craig MacRae are gratefully supported by a "work family" of knowledgeable and helpful staff. Yolanda has been with us since 2003 and her in-depth knowledge and experience with glass is invaluable.
