The Varone Market Venue building was built in 1912 by John Varone where he ran an Italian grocery store in the Denver Highlands. John, his wife Elizabeth, and their family lived on the second floor of the building in the predominantly Italian neighborhood. The adjacent Carriage House kept the horses and buggies and after 100+ years, the smell of horses still emanated from the floorboards. Poultry was butchered in the garden adjacent to the building and was sold fresh in the market.

Meet the Owner
In 2014, Scott Nagely, a board-certified emergency doctor, purchased the building as a creative outlet and investment. He recognized the potential of the historical Varone Market building in Denver’s popular Lower Highlands (LoHi) neighborhood. With his creativity and years of hard work, the old building now has been brought back to life as a Denver wedding and event venue and is ready to continue its story and be a part of yours.
