A historic building in Dayton, Ohio housing an airplane factory founded by the Wright Brothers more than 100 years ago was damaged in a fire on Sunday.

Capt. Brad French with the Dayton Fire Department said the structure involved is listed on the National Historic Register as the first aircraft manufacturing facility founded by brothers Wilbur and Orville Wright, who conducted history's first successful manned power plane flights near Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, in 1903.

"We are deeply saddened by the fire that damaged our historic Wright Company airplane factory, the first purpose built buildings for the aviation industry," Mackensie Wittmer, executive director of the National Aviation Heritage Area, said in a Facebook post.
