Durant-Dort Carriage Company William C. Durant and his business partner, J. Dallas Dort, completed this building in 1896. It was originally the headquarters of the Durant-Dort Carriage Company, one of the largest volume producers of horse-drawn vehicles in the United States at the turn of the century. Many of the decisions that led to the birth of General Motors, now the world's largest automobile manufacturer, took place here. After the carriage firm ceased operations in 1917, this building was headquarters of the now defunct Dort Motor Car Company until 1925. The Durant-Dort Carriage Office Building is the last structure in Flint linked to "Billy" Durant's pioneer efforts in automobile manufacturing. It was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.

Durant of the Durant-Dort Carriage Company at the Jackson Plant, Jackson, Michigan when Durant was making his headquarters there, rather than the oft-suggested Flint Buick plant venue, whilst visiting the Lewis Company in Jackson to acquire motors for an attempt to set-up automobile assembly in Oshawa. McLaughlin knew of Durant as the Durant-Dort Carriage Company had a manufacturing facility in Canada, the DURANT-DORT CARRIAGE COMPANY LIMITED, and thus gave Durant a degree of "respectability" in McLaughlin
