Walter E. Justus Becomes President & End of World War II

In 1941 Guy Justus was killed in an auto accident and his son Walter E. Justus took over as president.

1945 World War II ended and service men coming out of the war needed housing. The Justus Contracting Company seized this opportunity and developed the land by putting in sidewalks and streets and building almost every home from 10th Street to 16th St. and from Emerson Ave. to Ritter Ave. on Indy’s east side.
