Description
The Magnolia was built on the Texas State Fairgrounds in 1936 by the Magnolia Oil Company. (The Magnolia Oil Company was known later as Mobil Oil.) Visitors to the then Centennial Exposition used the lounge as a resting place where they could watch films and enjoy continuous entertainment. Its architecture was the first example of European Modernism in Texas.
The Mobil symbol of a winged red horse, Pegasus, has been a company trademark since its affiliation with Magnolia Petroleum Company in the 1930s.
