Edward J. Roye Building

Edward J. Roye Building

Located on Ashmun Street in downtown Monrovia, this high-rise was completed in 1965 to serve as the headquarters for the True Whig Party. Today, the structure stands in ruins. Travelers visit the site to observe the remnants of the building's former architecture and its role as a former city landmark.

Getting There

The building is situated within the downtown core of Monrovia. Since it is centrally located, it is accessible via short taxi rides or walk from most central hotels and administrative offices. Travel time from the city center is typically under 10 minutes depending on traffic.

Visit Duration

Because the building is currently a ruin and primarily viewed from the exterior or immediate surroundings, visitors generally spend 30 to 60 minutes at the site.

When to Visit

Visiting during the morning or late afternoon is recommended to avoid the midday heat. The site does not typically experience large crowds, though the surrounding downtown area remains busy during business hours.
