The historic Teller House in Central City was once billed as the most opulent hotel west of Chicago and east of San Francisco, some have even said it was the finest hotel west of the Mississippi river. One thing is sure, Henry Teller spared no expense in building and decorating this historic landmark for it's 1872 grand opening.
He was a personal friend to captains of industry and presidents, and had the wherewithal to establish an architecture of lasting brick design in a mostly wooden built town. Two great fires swept through Central City and not only did the Teller House survive, but its brick structure stopped the fire from spreading to several other buildings.
The token is in
excellent
condition.
The property has been used as a hotel and even a casino.
