Pyrmont incinerator View of the new refuse incinerator Saunders Street, Pyrmont. After years of wrangling, the Pyrmont incinerator was rebuilt in 1937. More than just an incinerator, it was an architectural marvel designed by the American architect Walter Burley Griffin and his wife Marion Mahony Griffin. After being decommissioned in 1970, Council allowed it to deteriorate and, despite the best efforts of heritage groups, this unique structure was demolished in 1992.
