Summary
| Description |
English: A newly constructed brick incinerator designed by the American architect Walter Burley Griffin, 34 (behind 36) West Thebarton Road, Thebarton, South Australia.
From the State Library of South Australia web page (see "Source"): "The creator of the incinerator was Walter Burley Griffin (1876-1937). Distinctive decorative tilework adorns the incinerator. It was designed in 1935, completed in 1937 and decommissioned in 1964. It was used to burn garbage and household waste and was designed as an attractive building as councils were not keen to have it located in their council areas." The Australian Heritage Database states that the incinerator "incorporated a special reverberatory furnace, the main feature of which was that ash could be discharged at a level to fill in the pit and enable the area to be reclaimed. Garbage was tipped in at road level and disposal effected by gravitational burning." |
