Tips for Visiting Deming Armory

  • Visit in the late afternoon when the light softens the brick and the shadows make the recessed windows theatrical-photographers get better shots then.
  • Check with Luna County historical society or Deming city hall before a visit; small historic buildings sometimes open only for events or by appointment.
  • Notice the wear on the stone steps and the soldier's initials carved into the plaster near the main door-these small marks are the building's biography.
