It was the first building of the Ellis Drive "agricultural group", including Stockbridge Hall and an unbuilt hall for agricultural mechanics.MAC Annual Report, March 1912, pp. 25-26. At the time of its completion, the laboratory was considered to be "one of the best equipped dairy buildings in the United States" and was described as "a model for the whole country" in one edition of the Works Progress Administration guidebook to Massachusetts. The building was named after Charles L. Flint, the university's fourth president, the first secretary of the state board of agriculture, a lecturer on dairy farming, and a prolific agricultural writer who wrote a well-received textbook on "Milch Cows" in the late 19th century.
