Henry Teller, one of the most illustrious residents of Central City, built this office in 1862 for his law practice. Originally located across the street where the Teller House now stands, the structure was moved just before hotel construction in 1871. Teller became the first president of the Colorado Central Railroad, owner of the Teller House and several other buildings in town, president of the Rocky Mountain National Bank, and president of the Rocky Mountain Telegraph Company. He was elected to the United States Senate in 1877 and served until 1906 except for a brief term as Secretary of the Interior under President Chester A. Arthur.
