A fire on Wednesday caused the evacuation of a historic building owned by Wayne State University in Detroit, but no injuries were reported.
Video from local TV stations showed thick clouds of black smoke near the top of the 14-storey Maccabees Building, a nearly century-old structure designed by architect Albert Kahn on Woodward Avenue.
The fire on the 11th floor was contained, Wayne State confirmed on social media. Authorities said it likely began in the heating and cooling system.
Wayne State has owned the building for more than 20 years and houses offices there, including the Computer Science Department and African American Studies, though it is not typically used for classes.
The Maccabees Building was home to early radio and television studios, including broadcasts of 'The Lone Ranger' from the 1930s and 'The Green Hornet'.
