Lovin Brothers in front of Standard Oil Station

Nils Lovin (Center)

Nils Lovin’s sons (Oscar-center and Carl to his right) stand in front of a Standard Oil they constructed. 

The Lovins – Nils, Carl, and Oscar – were local contractors from the 1890s until at least the 1950.

Among the most noted buildings constructed by the Lovins were Saint Mary’s Church, the Wards Building, most regional Standard Oil stations, and many buildings at Fort Lincoln (now UTTC).
