Former Building Housing Farmington Newspaper Scheduled for Auction Next Month

A two-day auction is set to begin on August 7 for a one-story office building in Farmington, New Mexico with a modernistic adobe design.

The just-over 10,400-square-foot structure at 305 N. Allen Avenue is located around one mile to the east of downtown Farmington and has for years served as press facilities for the Farmington Daily Times.

The listing also includes a second on-site structure measuring around 1,500 square feet that was built in 1965, while the entire site itself is across the street from the historic Sacred Heart Catholic Church.

The Daily Times, one of the oldest newspapers in the state, moved its primary facilities to the site of a former J.C. Penny’s store at 203 W. Main Street in 2016 some two years after the City of Farmington agreed to buy the property for $850,000.

The listing is being handled by the BellCornerstone commercial real estate firm based in Manlius, New York, with a starting bid set at $100,000. BellCornerstone specializes in property disposition, among other services.
