According to the 'Football Grounds Of Great Britain By Simon Inglis, before the ground was built, there stood the original Craven Cottage, which burnt down in 1888. Sited roughly where the centre circle of the current pitch lies now, it was originally built in 1780, by the sixth Baron Craven. At one time was also occupied by author Edward Bulwer-Lytton, who wrote 'The Last Days Of Pompeii'. The present cottage was built by Archibald Leitch in around 1905 and it originally housed the dressing rooms as well as the Board Room.
