Lincoln Street Ventilation Stack
Lincoln Street Ventilation Stack, Ventilation tower in Highgate, Australia.
The Lincoln Street Ventilation Stack stands 38 meters tall with a brick construction featuring Art Deco architectural elements at the intersection of Lincoln and Smith Streets.
Built in 1935 by the Metropolitan Water Supply Department, the structure later served as a radio antenna for the Police Wireless Service during World War II.
The structure earned the name 'Dumas's Folly' after Chief Engineer Russell Dumas when it failed to properly vent sewer gases over the surrounding neighborhood.
The ventilation stack remains accessible to visitors interested in examining the second tallest sewer vent in Australia, located strategically on Highgate Hill.
After its initial failure as a sewer vent in 1941, the structure was sealed and transformed into a concealed communications tower to protect against Japanese air raids.
