View of Murray House from the Murray Parade Ground, with the Hong Kong Cricket Ground on the left 從美利操場眺望美利樓,圖左為香港木球場

The site where the old Cricket Club and ground were located from 1851-1975, is now occupied by the present Chater Garden. Looking southwards from Chater Garden, on the site of the present Bank of China Tower previously stood the Murray House. It was built in 1846 as officers’ quarters of the Murray Barracks (now the Citibank Tower). The Murray House was dismantled in the early 1980s and was rebuilt at the seafront promenade at Stanley.香港木球會會所舊址現已闢作遮打花園,設有紀念牌匾,以標記1851至1975年期間的木球會會所及木球場舊址。由遮打花園向南眺望,即今日中銀大廈所在地為美利樓舊址。美利樓於1846年興建,當時用作美利兵房軍官宿舍(美利兵房即今日花旗銀行大廈一帶),其後於1980年代初被拆卸,並已於赤柱海旁重建。
