 BOLTON HALL

In the early 1900's a SOCIAL movement

brought people together in

"LITTLE LANDS".

This movement subsided, yet people

continued to settle in the foothill areas

between the

VERDUGO HILLS and the SAN GABRIELS, the ANGELES NATIONAL FOREST.

 

The community

building

was known as the

CLUBHOUSE.

 

 

The name of the

meeting place / city hall / jail

was BOLTON HALL,

coming from the name of

local hero - Bolton Hall.

In 1932, the City Of Los Angeles,

annexed the area, and the building

was used for various city departments.

In 1959, the Parks and Recreation

almost torn the building down.

In 1960, Assemblyman Tom Bane

introduced legislation in Sacramento

and in 1962 Bolton Hall was declared

L.A. CITY HISTORICAL

MONUMENT #2

(Monument#1 is Avila Abobe in the Old Plaza)

1967 brought restoration funds,

yet do to inflation

and budget constraints

the upgrading had

not been completed until the

CELEBRATION of December, 1980.

So, any community can

save its historic architectual structures.
