Building, Enhancing, and Restoring Indiana’s best-known Structures

History

1945 - 1966

The Glenroy Company was formed in 1945 as a general partnership between Roy L. VanArsdall and Glenn Yowler.  Mr. VanArsdall had previously served as a real estate representative for the Shell Oil Co.  Mr. Yowler was a bricklayer.  The firm’s early focus was on the construction of service stations throughout Indianapolis.   In 1949, the firm built an office at 450 South Ritter Avenue (still home to the Glenroy Construction Co.).  The office was subsequently expanded seven times. 

 

In 1952, Mr. VanArsdall acquired the entire firm from Mr. Yowler and incorporated it, forming the Glenroy Construction Co., Inc.  He shifted the company’s focus from service stations to include the construction of homes (including the Eagledale neighborhood) and commercial projects (including Eagledale Plaza Shopping Center).

1967 - 1994

In 1967, Jesse N. Jones, III was elected president of the company and Mr. VanArsdall moved to the chairman.  During this period, Glenroy stopped residential building and expanded into large-scale projects (such as schools, hospitals, convention centers, etc.).  Mr. VanArsdall died in September 1986 and Mr. Jones became the sole shareholder of the company. 

1995 to Present

In 1995, C. Lane Slaughter was named president of the Glenroy Construction Co., Inc.  Mr. Jones moved into the role of chairman, fully retiring in 1999.  Mr. Jones died in August, 2011.

 

In 1997, James L. Kojetin was named Secretary of the company.  Mr. Slaughter and Mr. Kojetin continue to own and operate the firm today as joint-partners with Mr. Slaughter overseeing office operations and Mr. Kojetin overseeing field operations.

About Us

Recently we were described by an architect as “one of the last of the

traditional general contractors.” He referenced this to our willingness to bid a

firm price deliver a one of kind building by a specific date from a set of

someone else’s drawings and specifications. Assuming all the unknown risks

and variables of the elements we provide a bonded responsibility to the

owner that they will receive this end result of our talent and experience. We

like this reference. Since 1945, we have earned a reputation we are proud of

we are tough competitors.
