Public Remarks: Seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own and restore one of Joplin's most iconic buildings--the Olivia Apartments. Located at 320 Moffet Avenue, this grand five-story structure, designed by renowned architect Austin Allen in 1906, is a masterpiece of early 20th-century elegance. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the Olivia Apartments were among Joplin's first luxury residences, catering to prominent figures during the city's mining boom. The Olivia has an impressive U-shaped red brick design, accented with Bedford limestone detailing, intricate cross-hatching, and elegant French doors. A blend of Colonial and Tudor Revival styles, the building features a striking façade with stone columns, ornate woodwork, and a distinguished architectural presence. Inside, the marble-clad lobby, ionic columns, stained glass transoms, and coffered ceilings preserve the grandeur of its early 20th-century origins. Originally built as a high-end apartment hotel, the Olivia housed 34 upscale apartments, each thoughtfully designed with fireplaces, built-in cabinetry, and high-quality wood finishes. The property also featured luxurious communal spaces, including a fifth-floor dining hall, a roof garden, and high-end amenities such as an in-house laundry service, a billiards room, and a barber shop. With reconstruction already underway, the Olivia Apartments present an extraordinary investment opportunity. Whether envisioned as luxury apartments, a boutique hotel, or a mixed-use development, the property is primed for revitalization and ready for a new owner to complete its restoration. Ideally located in Joplin's historic district, the Olivia is surrounded by charming early 20th-century homes, churches, and local businesses. Once served by the 4th Street trolley line, this area is rich in history and offers immense potential for renewal. Includes the Jesse Starr Duplex and Carriage House to the north. Also includes vacant lot across 4th St for parking.
