The ghost of a hamburger joint

Does anyone know anything about this shuttered-up hamburger shack on the corner of 17th and Montrose? What it used to be? How long ago it closed? If it is haunted by a kindly apparition in a cardboard hat?

Can you imagine if a burger counter with 24-hour fountain service was open today? The world, able to get egg creams at 3 a.m., would be a better place.
