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, the 1400 Bar & Grill restaurant, and the Gallagher and Lindsey Property Management division branch. The stained glass, elaborate etched windows, and carved wooden bar remain as they were in Neptune Beach days.

The second floor of the building is currently a residential hotel with just over a dozen units.

The third floor of the building is office space occupied by small businesses, attorneys, and the like.

The building is registered as California Historical Landmark^[2] 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.
