Edificio Oliver
A Beaux Arts-style building, it was the first building made of reinforced concrete in the Arecibo area.
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 then was demolished in 1913. The Edificio Oliver was built soon after in the corner location and was used both as a residence and for commercial purposes. It served also served as a foreign consulate.
Edificio Oliver was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986, and on the Puerto Rico Register of Historic Sites and Zones in 2000.
