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, [5] but it closed again later that year. [6] [7]
