Description: The incinerator designed by Walter Burley Griffin in 1935, completed in 1937 at 34 (behind 36) West Thebarton Road, Thebarton, South Australia]], and was decommissioned in 1964. From the Australian Heritage Database: "The building was designed for the disposal of garbage and household rubbish. It 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." From State Library of South Australia: "It was designed as an attractive building to mollify the local council, which did not want it located in their council residential area."
