The Flints were the children of Mr. Tyer, founder of the Tyer Rubber Company. Their uncle in England, Sir John Musgrove, left his estate to the family. The Flints bought the Elm Hotel, tore it down, and built the Musgrove Building in 1894. At the time, it was referred to as a "modern commercial building."
