The house of former Liberian President Samuel K. Doe, value at approximately US$1.5 million dollars located in Zwedru, Grand Gedeh County is a scene of attraction judging from its beautiful outlook.

Located in a giant size compound surrounded by small apartments and a modern swimming pool, the dream of the former Liberian Leader Samuel Doe to see his house, which ordinary citizens consider as “Dream House”, came to an abrupt end which by extension crippled the completion of the house project during the civil war.

Besides the abandonment of the house as far as it completion is concern, the house is currently been used as playground by street kids who assembled there to either fight or play thereby undermining the value of the house.

Other segment of the compound is used for defecation while doors initially planted were taken off. The house according to information gathered was heavily looted by forces of the defunct National Patriotic Front of Liberia formerly of former rebel leader Charles Taylor. Charles Taylor is currently incarcerated for war crime allegation by the International Court.

During my visit in the Southeastern region of Liberia, I personally took out time to visit this beautiful compound and observed its neglect and abuse of it essence.

Giving a descriptive view of the city of Zwedru, One could clearly deduced, taking into consideration the layout and structure of the city that it fairly constitutes the best three in the country. The layout of the street of Zwedru clearly protects anyone carrying map of the city to move from one place to another.

The road network in Zwedru is among the best in the country. It was built with excellent sidewalks alignment and better crossing point.

Of late, the current administration of the county built an area of attraction which gives additional beauty to the city. Triangular center, as it is affectionately called is used to bring Youth of the county together in discussing their common differences and also socialize their internal stress.
