Date Place completed: 
c.1880-01-01 (Year, Month, Day are approximate)
Date Place demolished: 
c.1895-01-01 (Year, Month, Day are approximate)

The earliest mention of Murray Pier I can find is from 24th January 1880 when His Excellency Lau Kwan-Yih, late Viceroy of Kwangtung and Kwangsi and Viceroy elect of Two Kiang arrived with his entourage in Hong Kong, landing at Murray Pier. (Source)

Demolished due to the Central Reclamation of the 1890's. A new pier was built on the foreshore.
