In 1896, Silverton brewery owner Charles Fischer built The Teller House to provide guest rooms for Silverton's turn of the century visitors. Since then The Teller House has continued to provide guests with an experience reminiscent of Mr. Fischer's original vision.

In 1997, the Teller House became a partnership between Frances Brooks and Tiffany & Kevin deKay. Under this ownership, the hotel was fully restored to its original Victorian charm. The guest rooms retained their original woodwork and high ceilings, and are currently furnished with 19th century antiques and Victorian period decor.

Like in the late 1800's, The Teller House remains in the heart of Silverton, within easy walking distance of the Durango & Silverton Scenic Train Depot, restaurants, shops, the Museum, and the mighty Animas River.
