Stanley Murray House

Stanley Murray House has a storied and important history of Hong Kong. Fans of architecture will undoubtedly be impressed by its beautiful form. This beautiful colonial building deserves more attention, but it seems to have been largely abandoned. We can only hope that they find a new purpose for this historic house.

Excellent place to roam around. Also good for a quick bite and to relax. Major brands are available in this vicinity.

Here to see a show by Design Trust. Great use of this historical building. Would love to see more art exhibitions here in the future.

Beautiful Victorian-era building. the building was originally located in Admiralty but moved to Stanley and stationed permanently. There were apparel and restaurant tenants but gradually moved out or closed down due to the current saddening tourism. Hope this will improve one day and the building will thrive again like back in the old days.

Historical landmark and next to the Stanley Plaza. Great place to take photos or visit and read about the history of the building. During festive seasons and certain weekends, there could be bazaar stalls set up for the visiting crowds.

Stanley, Hong Kong. Built in the present-day business district of Central in 1846 as officers' quarters of the Murray Barracks, the building was moved to the south of Hong Kong Island during the 2000s. This building has become an iconic landmark in Hong Kong. After housing the Hong Kong Maritime Museum, now in Stanley, it is now home to restaurants and shops. Murray House was one of the oldest surviving public buildings in Hong Kong. Similar to many of its contemporaries from the early colonial era, it was designed in Neoclassical style. The heavy stone walls (with flat arched opening) are on the ground floor to give a sense of stability, while the lighter Doric and Ionic columns are on the floors above to allow better ventilation. All floors have verandas on all sides in response to the local subtropical/monsoons climate.

Stanley Murray House is named after Sir George Murray, a British army officer turned politician. It is located within a short walking distance from the Stanley town bus terminal. It is an old three-storey Victorian-era building (1864) that was originally located in Central, Hong Kong. In 1982, it was dismantled and relocated to its present site facing the South China Sea.

Murray House is a Victorian building in Hong Kong, Murray House was originally located at the location of the current Bank of China Tower in Central, it was demolished in the early 1980s and subsequently rebuilt by the Stanley waterfront, The Hong Kong government already had plans to rebuild it on another site, so it numbered more than 3,000 pieces of granite in Murray House.

The Murray House may look a bit odd in Stanley- a classical building jutting out to the sea like a sore thumb- that's because the building wasn't here in the first place. The building was used as HQ for the joint forces back in the colonial days and it used to sit at where the Bank of China building in Admiralty is now. Thank god they had the good sense back then but they made the effort to dismantle the building brick by brick and it was put back to together here. When you go in now you can still imagine what it must have been like walking through the corridors back in the day- the guys must have done a bloody good job when taking it apart because I can't see major flaws with it now. It is now a 3 level building of wine and dine as well as a museum down on ground floor. The Museum is a maritime museum of Hong Kong though I haven't gone in there myself to know how good is/isn't. Upstairs though is where most people go. There are a number of restaurants, King Ludwig, Wildfire have been here as soon as it opened and they continue to be extremely busy today. You will find that it will take a lot of patience to get a table here but it is certainly worth the wait. You will see a lot of couples taking their wedding photos here; that's because there aren't a lot of classical buildings left in HK and this is a reminder to tell us how important preservation is.
