Teller House is a historic hotel in Central City, Colorado. Built in 1872, the building now serves as a restaurant.
The bar at the Teller House is well known for the "Face on the Barroom Floor," a painting of a woman's face on the wooden floor, done in 1936 by local artist Herndon Davis, as a joke after being fired by the Teller House.[2]
The building opened in 1991 as a casino, which operated until 2000.[3][4] A new management company reopened the casino in 2005, but it closed again later that year.[5][6]
