Unfinished History
This incinerator in the former wetlands of Islais creek between Potrero Hill and Bernal Heights was supposed to solve San Francisco's solid waste disposal problems in the early 1920s. But it never worked, and after Brisbane Lagoon was taken over for San Francisco's landfill the incinerator was eventually demolished.
