Philadelphia
Once known as Cloverlay Gym, the converted three-story dance hall where the late heavyweight boxer “Smokin’Joe” Frazier trained to fight Muhammad Ali is unprotected by local or national preservation designations. Frazier purchased the building in 1973, changed the name to Joe Frazier’s Gym, and lived for a time in the apartment above it.
