The low brick building on the northwest corner of Grant Street and East Seventh Avenue began life in the early 1900s as a grocery store; it was built to take advantage of a new streetcar line running along Seventh, straight through a neighborhood where the Colorado Governor's Mansion had also just been completed. Over the decades, many businesses have come and gone from this corner, but for the past twenty years, it has been the site of restaurateur Frank Bonanno's growing group of restaurants and bars. Mizuna opened at the west end of the property in 2001, followed soon after by Luca (facing Grant Street), Bones (which became Lou's Food Bar in 2019) and Vesper Lounge (which took over the venerable Lancer Lounge). Although the four businesses have separate addresses, their spaces are all owned by one company, the Sherman Agency, which recently informed Bonanno that it was considering options for the future, including the possibility of demolishing the structure.
