H-E Lowdermilk Construction Company
Named for brothers Hoyle and Elbert Lowdermilk.
1960
Hoyle Lowdermilk, Inc. was registered as a Utah corporation on October 28, 1960. The company's registration expired on April 15, 1985.
1962
H-E Lowdermilk Construction Co., of Englewood, Colorado, was the successful bidder on highway contracts in Utah beginning in the 1962 time period, first working on the improvement of the road in Big Cottonwood Canyon, southeast of Salt Lake City. When Interstate 70 construction began in May 1963, Lowdermilk was the contractor for a 10.5 mile segment in Sevier and Emery counties.
1964
In October 1964 the company was awarded the contract for the reconstruction of U. S. 6 and 50 in Price Canyon between Castle Gate and Kyune.
Alfred Hoyle Lowdermilk (known as "H.L.") was born on June 25, 1900 in North Carolina. His family moved west to Colorado in August 1918. He lived in Denver and Pueblo, Colorado. He died on June 6, 1984 and is buried in the Fairmont Cemetery in Denver.
In June 1970, Elbert Lowdermilk was shown as being the president of H-E Lowdermilk Co.
In 1975 the Lowdermilk company moved the town of Castle Gate to a new site in Spring Canyon, near Helper. The move was needed to allow expansion of the Castle Gate coal mines.
H-E Lowdermilk Co. built the access road to Coastal States' Skyline mine in 1982. At the same time the Lowdermilk company took numerous contracts for Carbon County and cities and towns in the same county for grading, paving and curb and gutter work.
In 1983, the partnership of the two brothers, H-E Lowdermilk Construction Company, with Hoyle and Elbert as equal partners, was apparently split. The Utah interests and activites became Elbert Lowdermilk, Inc., and the Colorado interests became Hoyle Lowdermilk Company, based in Englewood, Colorado.
