Lovington Fire Department Building

The Lovington Fire Department Building, also known as the Lovington Fire Station, is a fire station in Lovington, New Mexico which was built in 1941. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2008.

It is a one-story building with two fire engine bays. It was built as a Works Progress Administration project during 1941-42 and served as Lovington's city hall, as well as its fire station.

It is optimistically described as having International Style architecture.

A new fire and police department building was constructed in 1984, just to the south; the historic building continued to serve by providing space for training and as a repair shop.
