DePere Lockkeeper's House Economic Feasibilty Study


Location DePere, Wisconsin
Project Type Economic Feasibilty Study
Year 2010 (completed by Jennifer L. Lehrke while a Senior Architect at LJM Architects)

This report focused on the De Pere Lockkeeper’s House, which is located on a narrow dyke in De Pere, Wisconsin. The study involved consultations with key stakeholders to provide future use options for the house, which included an active recreational shelter, an institutional office, and heritage tourism lodging. Rehabilitation costs for each use were developed, and the economic viability of each use was determined. Schematic plans and elevations were developed for each use as a means to attract investors and prospective tenants. Finally, a realistic timeline was developed for procuring architectural plans, securing rehabilitations funds, and completing construction.
