The Teller House was built as a hotel by lawyer turned statesman, Henry Moore Teller, in 1872 to serve the gold mining town then known as the “richest square mile on earth” and the leader of the world’s gold production. The Teller House became known as the finest hotel (outside of Denver) west of the Mississippi and houses the famous and mysterious "Face on the Barroom Floor" painting, done by Herndon Davis in 1934.
The hotel was rented for dining and housing of Central City Opera House patrons beginning with the first festival in 1932, and was purchased from Teller’s heirs by the Association in 1935. Since then, the Teller House has been used by the Association as an entertainment and gathering venue for opera patrons and for special events throughout the season.
