People's Petroleum Building
102 N College Ave, Tyler, TX 75702
(903) 592-1032
The People's Petroleum Building is a historic landmark in Downtown Tyler, TX built in 1932. At the time, it was the tallest high-rise in East Texas and one of the largest construction projects west of the Mississippi. It was designed to meet the growing financial and business needs of the East Texas oil boom. In 2012, after decades of patiently waiting in Downtown Tyler's shadow, the People's Petroleum Building underwent a major revitalization. Reputable Tylerite investors Garnett Brookshire and his father, Tim Brookshire, worked diligently with Andy Bergfeld, a fifth-generation Tylerite and the president of Bergfeld Realty Company, to return the timeworn structure to its earlier glory. Their goal was to revitalize and preserve the Art Deco essence and historical integrity of this magnificent landmark. The People's Petroleum Building has a total of 15 floors and offers approximately 83,000 square feet of total rentable office and retail space.
