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 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.[2]
