Joe Frazier’s North Philly Gym Is Endangered
The National Trust for Historic Preservation has named Joe Frazier’s former gym—where he lived and trained for a historic bout with Muhammad Ali—America’s 11 Most Endangered Historic Places. The North Philly building was a warehouse before Frazier began training there. He later turned it into a community gym. The three-story building currently houses a discount furniture store on the ground floor and is vacant on the top two. The building is currently for sale. [Metro]
