Born in Jackson County, West Virginia (then Virginia) in about 1840, he was the son of William Hall, a native of Ohio, and Mary (Cohen) Hall.[1] He was educated in Virginia, and apprenticed as a patternmaker.[1] During his early 20s he traveled through several western states and territories and worked as miner.[1] He moved to Seattle in 1869, and during his career, Hall operated at various times a construction business, a furniture making company, a real estate development office, and other ventures.[1]
A Republican, Hall served several terms on the city council.[1] He served as Mayor of Seattle from 1891 until 1892.[2] Hall was appointed on December 9, 1891, following the resignation of Harry White.[3] On March 18, 1892, James T. Ronald was elected as his replacement.[4]

In 1872, Hall married Mary Virginia Bell, the daughter of William Nathaniel Bell, one of Seattle's founders.[1] Their children included Edna, Ivy, Olive, and Aidine.[1]
