Murray House is a restored Victoria-era building (1844) that was named after Sir George Murray (1772-
1846), a British soldier and politician. Architectural design was done by Major Aldrich and Lieutenant Collinson of the Royal Engineers, who actually did the construction. In 1982 it was dismantled to make way for the Bank of China Tower which now sits on the original site. It was finally reassembled in it's present location in Stanley behind the end of Stanley Main Street, on the right-hand side of the bay ring the years 98/1999. The Victoria-era building served originally as barracks for the British military and as part of the Victoria Barracks up until the 1960s. Today it houses restaurants on the first floor, some of
which have grand views across the bay.
