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