Biography

Hall was born in Boston to Charles G. Hall, an architect, who had come to Boston in 1820. [2] Hall first appears to have worked with architect George M. Dexter, and was the builder of Dexter's 1847-48 block of houses at 92-99 Beacon Street. [3] Hall afterwards entered the employ of his father's firm, C. G. & J. R. Hall. He first came to Providence in 1850, to supervise the construction of that firm's What Cheer Block. [1]

In 1855, he established a partnership with architect Alpheus C. Morse in the firm of Morse & Hall. Their only known built commission is the Merchants Bank Building in Providence, as the firm only lasted for a few months. He practiced alone until 1884, when he made Charles R. Makepeace partner, in the firm of Hall & Makepeace. That firm was dissolved in 1886. [1] From then until his death, he practiced alone. He was highly regarded in his lifetime as an architect of churches, private residences, and mills.
