Following graduation, Bolot contributed to several significant projects, including with Walter Burley Griffin, before undertaking solo designs in the 1930s.
The area is closely associated with the Heidelberg School art movement of the late 19th century, and in 1915 architect Walter Burley Griffin was commissioned to design a residential subdivision in the area.
Griffith, sized at approximately 3 km², is one of Canberra's oldest suburbs, with several of its streets designed according to Walter Burley Griffin's original designs for Canberra.
The suburb is named after the former city planner Peter Harrison, who was instrumental in reviving Walter Burley Griffin's plan for the National Capital.
In the 1920s he acted as engineering consultant to Walter Burley Griffin, on the design of the Cotter Dam and water supply system for the new capital at Canberra.
Aside from the city's design, arguably Walter Burley Griffin's longest-living legacy in Canberra is the forest of Redwood trees (both Sequoia sempervirens and Sequoiadendron giganteum) that was planted in 1918 by Walter Burley Griffin and arborist Thomas Charles Weston on Pialligo Avenue.

Walter Burley Griffin was an American architect and landscape architect who played a key role in designing Canberra, Australia's capital city.
It has long been abandoned, however the original street designs (which echo the circles, hexagons and triangle layouts by Walter Burley Griffin for nearby Canberra) can still be seen on local maps and online sources such as Google Maps.
Manuka Circle was on Walter Burley Griffin's original plan for Canberra and named after the New Zealand tea tree Leptospermum scoparium.
