The Acklin Store, on New Mexico State Road 90 near San Lorenzo, Grant County, New Mexico, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988. [1]

It is significant for its association with Henry Acklin, a miner from Georgetown, who moved to this area and built this store in about 1920. He then built a number of rental houses and the area became the commercial center for the mid-Mimbres Valley and became known as Acklin Hill. [2]

It is a two-story L-shaped building with a one-story section in the L. It is made of adobe with stucco in parts and clapboard elsewhere. Although built of adobe, it has a relatively normal vernacular commercial style, with large store display windows and a centered door. [2]

It is located on the north side of Highway 90 approximately .3 miles (0.48 km) west of its junction with S. Highway 61. [2]

It was listed on the National Register as part of a 1988 study of historic resources in the Mimbres Valley of Grant County. [3]
