provided with classrooms, seminar
rooms, a lecture hall, a library,
offices, living quarters and modern
toilet facilities. This building
is suitable as accommodation for a
number of professional societies
and voluntary institutions and the
Committee recommends its retention
for institution and community uses
within an open space zone.
Murray House
Murray House is situated outside the
Victoria Barracks and it is, therefore, outside
the purview of the Committee. However, as it
is the contemporary and immediate neighbour
of Flagstaff House and a building of con-
siderable architectural merit and historical
interest to Hong Kong, the Committee suggests
that should it be decided to re-erect Murray
House on a new site, the site of the existing
Victoria Infants' School at the western end
of the Victoria Barracks would be a suitable
location for this historic building which
would complement Flagstaff House, Rawlinson
House and the future prestigious Government
