Croll Building, Renaissance Revival building in Alameda, United States.
The Croll Building stands three stories tall at 1400 Webster Street, featuring stained glass windows, carved wooden bars, and elaborate window etchings throughout its structure.
Constructed in 1879 as Britt's Hotel, the building expanded between 1879 and 1908 through the addition of three connected historical structures to form the current complex.
The building served as a training facility for professional boxers including James J. Corbett, Bob Fitzsimmons, Jim Jefferies, and Jack Johnson in the early 1900s.
The structure now contains a restaurant on the first floor, residential hotel rooms on the second floor, and office spaces on the third floor.
A large neon sign reading 'Croll's' marks this National Register of Historic Places site at the intersection of Webster Street and Central Avenue.
