The 'Tincinerator,' a roughly 79-80-foot-tall abandoned industrial incinerator repurposed by artist Mickey Pitcher in late 2014 into a smiling Tin Soldier, painted with a face on both sides so it is visible from Loop 340 in either driving direction. Formerly part of Smith Furniture Manufacturing Co. (used to burn scrap wood, abandoned when the company closed in 2007), it stands along Highway 84 across from Richland Mall, Waco.
