Bolton Hall, was built for the California Extension Society, an organization that developed the "Little Lands" settlement in what is now Tujunga, CA, after 1907. Little Lands colonies, where residents could buy acres of land to farm independently, were also set up in Owensmouth, East Palo Alto, and other sites in California. This building was named for George Bolton, a prominent New York Socialist; the building was used in 2004 as a local history museum. In 1959, the City of Los Angeles Recreation and Park Department threatened to demolish Bolton Hall, instigating protests from the Southern California Chapter of the American Institute of Architects and other groups. The building was second building to have been landmarked in 1962 by the Cultural Heritage Board of the City of Los Angeles, in its first year of operation.

Composed of uncoarsed ashlar masonry, Bolton Hall, Tujunga, CA, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, level of significance: Local. The building is a simple gable-roofed structure, with a small gabled section appended to the rear and a prominent hipped-roof tower in front. The gable roof was covered in clay tile. Harris advocated the use of stone in buildings and in Bolton Hall, he used very little mortar with which to adhere the boulders.
