First Ward in the City of Flint, County of Genesee, Michigan...beginning on the west line of Detroit Street...(176) feet south of the south line of Second Street...being the premises on which the Dayton House and Barn are situated.

After returning too this city...[John C. Dayton] dealt principally in horses until October, 1880, when he purchased the Dayton House. It was then known as the Brotherton House, and was built about 1875. It has one of the finest sites in the city, and is located on the west side of Detroit Street. It is a first-class hotel, and caters largely too the commercial trade, the traveling men being most appreciative of its comfortable quarters. [Source]
