The Everson Law Firm has moved its offices into the historic Schauer & Schumacher building in downtown Green Bay. The move marks a new chapter for the property, which remained vacant for over twenty years before its recent restoration.
Why it matters
By moving into the revitalized downtown site, the firm fulfills its goal of maintaining a long-standing office presence in the heart of Green Bay. This restoration breathes new life into a landmark that sat dormant for two decades.
The property at 109 N. Adams St. stood vacant for over 20 years before the recent renovation. Following the restoration, the building will house the law firm and the upcoming Reverly concert venue, which is planned to hold more than 400 people.

Market Landscape
This project follows the pattern of revitalization incentivized by the National Register of Historic Places, turning a long-vacant landmark into a functional professional and entertainment hub. Such adaptive reuse trends reflect a broader shift toward repurposing mid-century urban architecture to boost downtown density.
The transition of the long-vacant building into a mixed-use space provides new office access for legal clients and additional entertainment options for downtown visitors. Residents can expect increased foot traffic in the North Adams Street corridor once the concert venue is fully operational.
The takeaway
Historic preservation can effectively anchor professional services and entertainment while eliminating long-term blight in urban centers. Business owners looking for office space may find value in exploring properties currently undergoing similar adaptive reuse initiatives.
