Olivia Apartments is a historic apartment building located at Joplin, Jasper County, Missouri. It was built in 1906 by a Canadian engineer who moved to Joplin during the mining boom and finished in October of 1906.[2] It is a five-story, U-shaped, red brick building. It measures approximately 100 feet by 125 feet and features Bedford limestone ornamentation and light colored brick cross hatching.[3]: 5
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2008.[1] It is located in the Murphysburg Historic District.
The apartment consists of 37 bedrooms equipped with built-ins, fireplaces, marble bathrooms with clawfoot tubs, and French doors that opened onto private balconies. The fifth level has two restaurants: a grill room and a more formal dining room. After a century of operation, the City of Joplin deemed the Oliva apartment life threatening in 2006 and instructed its occupants to evacuate.[4]
