The Centennial Pavilion is a national monument in Monrovia, capital of the West African Republic of Liberia. It is located in the historic Old Town, in the block between Broad Street in the south, Randall Street in the north, Benson Street and Center Street.
The Centennial Pavilion holds historical significance in Monrovia, Liberia. It was constructed in 1947 to commemorate the hundredth anniversary of Liberia’s independence. The pavilion is situated at the inauguration spot for Liberia’s presidents. Over the years, it has hosted various formal government functions, including Presidential inaugurations, state funerals, and elite weddings1.
During the 27-year presidency of William V.S. Tubman, the Centennial Pavilion played a central role in significant national events. President Tubman himself was buried there. Unfortunately, the pavilion suffered damage and neglect during the war years but is now undergoing refurbishment1.
For me, it’s particularly special because my parents, American expatriates, were married there in 1960. The event was attended by government officials, diplomats, missionaries, businesspeople, and Liberians from various tribes and walks of life. Mrs. Tubman, the President’s wife, even provided all the flowers and plants for the occasion1.
The Centennial Pavilion stands as a testament to Liberia’s history and its connection to both the past and the present.
