The Everson Law Firm has relocated its offices into the historic Schauer & Schumacher building in downtown Green Bay. The move marks the revitalization of the property at 109 N. Adams St. after it sat vacant for more than two decades.
Why it matters
The firm's investment in this 1920s-era structure reflects a strategic commitment to maintaining a downtown footprint. By revitalizing a long-vacant landmark, the firm aligns its operations with the ongoing push for urban core renewal in Green Bay.
The Schauer & Schumacher building stood vacant for over 20 years before its recent restoration. The property will soon include the concert venue Reverly, which is designed to hold a minimum capacity of 400 people.
