Walter Burley Griffin Incinerator, Essendon
The Walter Burley Griffin Incinerator is a former reverbatory (RIECo) incinerator located in Aberfeldie, (Essendon), an inner western suburb of Melbourne, in Victoria, Australia. Built between 1929 and 1930, designed by Walter Burley Griffin, his wife, Marion and business associate, Eric Milton Nicholls, the incinerator operated until 1942 and was repurposed as an art gallery in 2011. The former incinerator was added to the Victorian Heritage Register on 31 January 1979 in recognition of its architectural, historical and technological (scientific) significance. It is one of six remaining extant incinerators in Australia designed by the Griffins and is the only surviving RIECo incinerator in Victoria. The structure was also added to the now defunct Register of the National Estate on 30 June 1992.
