Hamburgers by Gourmet was at the Corner of Yoakum and W. Alabama. It split the property where the Chapel of St. Basil now sits. It faced Yoakum with a drive-thru wrapping around the W. Alabama side.

tcp, in your research, did you run across a date of sale (of the land) to William Marsh Rice? I'm assuming he bought the land at one time, since it now belongs to Rice University. Sears just leases, from what I've heard on the grapevine.
