The BACC had moved to Palermo in 1864, where the club would remain until 1948 when a fire destroyed its buildings. Due to the yellow fever epidemic that devastated Buenos Aires in 1870, much of the British residents in the city moved to suburban areas, such as Flores (that was not part of the city of Buenos Aires by then) and Lomas de Zamora among other districts. In those areas other cricket clubs, such as Chascomús Cricket Club and Adela Cricket Club, were formed.
