caption_attribution_description: English: 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."
context_page_description: Thebarton, formerly Theberton, is an inner-western suburb of Adelaide, South Australia in the City of West Torrens. The suburb is bounded by the River Torrens to the north, Port Road and Bonython Park to the east, Kintore Street to the south, and South Road to the west.
  Many buildings and landmarks that bear the name of Thebarton were in the history municipality, the Town of Thebarton, which included most of the adjoining suburb of Torrensville. These include the Thebarton Oval, the Thebarton croquet and bowls club, Thebarton Theatre, and Thebarton Senior College. The historic Adelaide Gaol, nominally shown as being in Thebarton, and the adjacent Thebarton Barracks of the South Australia Police actually lie within the northwestern Adelaide Park Lands.
  The Thebarton campus of the University of Adelaide, also known as Adelaide University Research Park, occupies a complex of former industrial buildings in the northeastern corner of the suburb.
