| 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 during
the years 1998/1999.
The Victoria-era building served originally as barracks for
the British military and was 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.
I have placed a simple model of Murray House
in the Google Earth 3D Warehouse. You can find it
here.
