Edificio Oliver in Arecibo, Puerto Rico was built in 1914. The building houses government offices for the municipality of Arecibo.

A Beaux Arts-style building, it was the first building made of reinforced concrete in the Arecibo area.[2]

It is located in the town center on the location of the former "King's House", the military garrison building built by the Spanish government in 1765. After 1868 that building became a courthouse, a police headquarters, and a public school. It was demolished in 1913.[2]

Edificio Oliver was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.[1]
