First responders, the Midland Police Department and the Midland Fire Department were called to a fire located inside the historic Petroleum Building in downtown Midland during the evening hours on Monday.

T. S. Hogan, a Montana attorney, rancher and oilman, came to the Permian Basin in 1925 and became active in the oil business. In 1927, Hogan announced the construction of the Petroleum Building.
The Petroleum Building was designed by the Fort Worth architect Wyatt C. Hendrick and completed in 1929. The building has long played a significant role in the history of Midland, as well as casting a significant role in the development of the city.
