Landmarks Commission 9-16-2026

The City of Green Bay Landmarks Commission held a meeting on September 16, 2026, primarily to review and consider a design proposal for metal caps to cover deteriorated architectural details on the front facade of the historic building at 109 North Adam Street. The building owner had sought bids from multiple masonry contractors to repair the damaged cast stone elements, but due to the extent of deterioration and liability concerns, no viable repair bids were received. The proposed solution involved installing black metal panels over the damaged Greek key details to preserve the facade without causing further damage. The commission discussed concerns about attachment methods, color appropriateness, and the potential for future restoration if skilled masons become available. After deliberation, the commission voted to approve the design as presented, emphasizing that the installation would not damage the original structure and could be reversed in the future. No other procurement or budget matters were addressed during the meeting.
