The Barker's added a family home and a lodge. In 1939, they purchased Fred's Fish and Chips which was located on the lot beside the Tea Room and built a kitchen and dining room that seated 100 guests. A six room apartment and 5 cabins were also added to the complex. Barker's sold the property to John and Pat McGuire in 1963 who continued to operate the business.
