With the growth of club cricket in Sydney suitable grounds and adequate seating accommodation were issues facing all clubs. The Gordon DCC was not alone in the matter with the original pavilion that was built in 1902 and 1903 proving inadequate by 1913. It was around this time that the club began investigating with the Municipality of Willoughby the building of a new pavilion.1 Preliminary steps were undertaken but the outbreak of war in 1914 halted any progress.

On 15 December 1920, a public meeting, presided over by the Mayor of Willoughby, Alderman RT Forsyth, was held in the Willoughby Town Hall at Chatswood. The meeting heard that the objectives were “the improvement of the oval and the erection of a more modern pavilion”.
