The Croll Building, in Alameda, California, was the site of Croll's Gardens and Hotel, famous as training quarters for the some of the greatest fighters in boxing history from 1883 to 1914. James J. Corbett, Bob Fitzsimmons, Jim Jefferies, Jack Johnson, and many other champions all stayed and trained here.

Today this building is home to Croll's Pizza and the New Zealander restaurant. The stained glass, elaborate etched windows, tile floor, and carved wooden bar remain as they were in Neptune Beach days.

The building is registered as California Historical Landmark #954 and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NPS-82000960). It is located at the corner of Webster Street and Central Avenue. A very large "Croll's" neon sign marks the location.
