Edward J. Roye Building, High-rise building on Ashmun Street, Monrovia, Liberia.
The Edward J. Roye Building stands prominently in the commercial district of Monrovia, featuring grand architectural elements and stained glass windows above its entrance.
Constructed as the True Whig Party headquarters, the building hosted legislative sessions in 1975 and remained a center of political power until the 1980 coup.
The building's facade incorporates architectural elements that represent both settler and indigenous Liberian design traditions, reflecting the nation's dual heritage.
Visitors need to obtain a special permit from local authorities to access the interior of the building, which currently stands in deteriorating condition.
The structure overlooks both the Mesurado River and Providence Island, where the first group of freed African American settlers arrived in 1822.
