Built in 1879, the foundry shop served its original purpose for the C.A. Lawton Co. until 1971. During the 1980s, the city of DePere slated the downtown area, including the foundry, for redevelopment and revitalization. According to the Wisconsin Main Street Program-a statewide effort to promote historic preservation-a small work force from Lawton remained downtown, using the foundry as office space until it closed up shop for good in 1990. Years later, the abandoned Lawton site attracted a slew of developers, but most had plans to demolish the deteriorating structure and hammer out a new building. Eventually, the structure was slated for the wrecking ball several times. Enter the Alexander Co. After being spared from destruction, the Lawton Foundry buildings were renovated into 70 one- and two-bedroom flat-style apartments and town homes, ranging in size from 574 square feet to more than 1,820 square feet. Each residence has its own unique floor plan. The Alexander Co. preserved much

De Pere sits along the Fox River about six miles southwest of downtown Green Bay, carrying a history that stretches back to 1671 when French Jesuit explorer Claude-Jean Allouez founded St. Francis Xavier Mission at the river's last rapids. That sense of deep-rooted character still shapes the city today. With roughly 26,000 residents spread across 13 square miles, De Pere moves at a measured pace, blending a walkable historic core with open stretches of land that ease into the broader Green Bay metro area.
St. Norbert College anchors much of the city's identity, drawing a steady academic presence and contributing to the community's cultural calendar, which includes events like the annual Redneck Regatta and Memorial Day Veterans Salute. The west side of De Pere edges toward farmland, giving it a quieter, open feel, while the riverfront and areas near Main Avenue offer more activity and walkability.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
