The former Glebe Incinerator is located at the end of Forsyth Street, in the inner west suburb of Glebe. It was designed by Walter Burley Griffin and built in 1933 in the art deco architecural style. It operated until 1949 and then the furnace and flue were demolished in 1952. The remaining part of the shed and chimney stack were restored and reinterpreted in 2006 and the building is now used as a community hall and function centre.
Great architecture....

I do love happy endings for old buildings. Lovely photo.
ReplyDeleteIt is so interesting to visit. I live in Perth, Ontario. A lot of our local spots are named with similar names. Glebe, Bondi, I love travelling virtually. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteCheers from Cottage Country!
There must be some Aussie connections there.

ReplyDeleteThis is a very artistic piece of recycling! The building now sports a stunning design!
ReplyDeletecan't say I have seen this building.
ReplyDeleteSo good to see old buildings being restored for new uses instead of being torn down.
