The Toll House is a residence in Clear Creek County, Colorado. It was built by 1878 near the toll gates of a private road linking mines between the towns of Silver Plume, Colorado and Georgetown, Colorado.^[2] The home belonged to Julius G. Pohle, an officer of the Lebanon Mining Company; the Lebanon Mine was one of the earliest hard rock silver mines in Colorado, operating from around 1870 until the 1940s.^[2] It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1970.^[1]

The home is located on the southern side of Georgetown, Colorado adjacent to (and below) Interstate 70. It appears to be viewable from an overlook off the northbound I-70. It would be accessed by what is now known as Loop Road or as the Silver Plume to Georgetown Express.^[3]

It is described as a wood-frame house, but has particularly sturdy construction using 10 by 10 inches (25 cm × 25 cm) beams and 4 by 4 inches (10 cm × 10 cm) upright posts. It has a brick veneer exterior. It can be and apparently has been moved.^[2]

It is Gothic Revival in style.^[2]
