The Olive Tower Apartments are located at the corner of Boren Avenue and Olive Way. According to a real estate brochure of the time, two-room suites, unfurnished and furnished, rented for $52.50 to $85 a month. The 14-story building opened July 15, 1928 and advertised "a telephone in every apartment" and a fireproof garage.
