The headquarters of the Green Bay & Lake Pepin Railroad still stands in Green Bay today.
The Green Bay & Lake Pepin Railroad's offices were on the second floor of the "Shaylor Block Building" at the corner of Adams and Pine Street on the east side of Green Bay. Egbert Jerome Shaylor became the treasurer of the GB&LP in 1871 before resigning in 1873 to pursue other business interest in Green Bay — including the development of this office building.
