Built in the present-day business district of Central in 1846 as officers' quarters of the Murray Barracks,[1] the building was moved to the south of Hong Kong Island during the 2000s.

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.

The designer and constructor were Major Edward Aldrich and Lieutenant Thomas Bernard Collinson of the Royal Engineers.
