DENVER — Three months after announcing plans to tear down the historic jazz club El Chapultepec, the building's owners have changed their tune.
Monfort Companies submitted a new project design Tuesday that heeds the voices of preservationists, including Historic Denver, who argue the city's history is tied to the longtime downtown music venue.
The plan, which Monfort Cos. said was submitted to the Lower Downtown Design Review Commission, is the result of a partnership with Historic Denver.
