The Pylons of the Sydney Harbour Bridge were designed by the Scottish architect Thomas S. Tait, a partner in the architectural firm John Burnet & Partner.
Abutments at the base of the pylons are essential to support the loads from the arch and hold the span of the bridge firmly in place, but the pylons themselves have no structural purpose. They were included to provide a frame for the arch panels and to give better visual balance to the bridge.
The pylons were not part of the original design, and were only added to calm the public who were concerned about the structural integrity of the bridge.
