History[edit | edit source]

Scotty Gall's (1954–1975)[edit | edit source]

Scotty Gall's seafood restaurant opened at the address in 1954, and an addition to the rear of the building, facing Drouillard Street, was constructed in 1956.

Fergie's Fish & Chips/Fergie's Family Restaurant (1975–2012)[edit | edit source]

Scotty Gall's shuttered the 4232 Fort Street location by 1975 to focus on its newer Gibraltar location, and Fergie's Fish & Chips took over the building and added on a false mansard structure to the storefront. The restaurant closed for five weeks in 2011 for remodeling, reopening on May 13 with an expanded menu and a new name, Fergie's Family Restaurant.[1] However, the newly-remodeled restaurant would end up losing customers after a major reconstruction project along Fort Street hampered accessibility, and permanently closed in April 2012.

Hop Sheing Noodle House (2014–present)[edit | edit source]

Siw Yin-Wong purchased the property on June 13, 2013[2], and opened the Hop Sheing Noodle House Asian noodle restaurant at the address on January 21, 2014.[3] The restaurant was the site of a five-hour barricaded gunman standoff on February 22, 2018, which began at 3:40 p.m. when the gunman locked himself inside an office room and later ended when he surrendered himself at about 8:30 p.m.[4]
