Alfie's Fish and Chips, located at 341 Appleton Street, was built in 1971 on the site of the former First Methodist Church, which was razed in early September 1970.
On June 19, 1971, Alfie's celebrated its grand opening.
In August 1972, a runaway cab badly damaged the building. Repairs were not completed until several months later. The business owner indicated that his customers believed the restaurant had closed its operation after the accident.
On November 1, 1972, Alfies Fish & Chips officially closed 17 months after its opening.
The real estate was sold to the Third National Bank on December 21, 1972, and the building was converted to a branch office.
