1826-05-12

In May 1826 the MCC opened a new brick pavilion at Lord's, replacing the wooden building destroyed by fire in July 1825. The new pavilion was larger, contained an upgraded Long Room, dressing rooms and committee accommodation, and stood until 1889. It was the second of the three Lord's pavilions and the building in which most of the great roundarm-era matches were administered.

First Long Room at the New Lord's — Pavilion Opens, May 1816

1816-05-15

In May 1816 the MCC completed the first pavilion at the new Lord's Cricket Ground in St John's Wood — a small two-storey wooden building containing dressing rooms and, on the ground floor, a panelled members' room that became known as the Long Room. The 1816 Long Room was the direct ancestor of the present pavilion's most famous space and the first dedicated indoor cricket room at Lord's.
