Teller House
Gilpin County
The Teller House was built by brothers Henry M. and Willard Teller during 1871-72. The four-story brick building was reported to be the largest and most elaborately furnished hotel located outside of Denver.
Teller House
It served as the gathering place for local society and visiting elite, including US President Grant who visited in 1873. Double hung windows are found on the three floors that contained sleeping rooms. Windows and doors on the first floor are set in round arches and include transoms. Portions of the building now house a museum, and the first floor bar with its well known "Face on the Barroom Floor" remains an attraction.
