In 1974, with the addition of a shrimp and crab fishery, the two story, full scale seafood processing plant was constructed. The processing plant included; two shrimp machines, full crab cooking operations, a ten station salmon fillet line, fish smoking and canning facilities.

By 1984 and due to environmental concerns, such as the shoaling of the jetty entrance, the original entrance to the boat harbor and economic changes in the fishing industry, ownership of the processing facility had changed hands three times.

From 1986 until the present, decreases in non-tribal commercial troll fisheries within the Klamath zone, of which the Rogue River is a part, had a further downward effect on the plants capacity to operate. By Labor Day of 1991, FBC Salmon Co. had sub-leased the facility for sea urchin processing.

With the need to diversify the Gold Beach community's economy, the Port decided to renovate the Cannery as a retail facility, with a restaurant and commercial fish processing facilities.

In 1995, the Port completed Phase I of the cannery building renovation. Phase II was completed in the summer of 1997. The doors were opened to the new cannery complex in March of 1998 and the renovation project has generated new jobs for the community.

The building now houses the Port Hole Cafe, Rogue's Gallery & Coffee Dock, Cone Amor Ice Cream & Sweet Shop and Fishermen's Direct & Seafood Market.
