E.F. Hall & Co is a photographer's studio, based in Buffalo, founded by Eleck HALL. He was well known as a pictorialist and professional portrait photographer in Buffalo. Born in 1857 in Bath, New Hampshire, he began his photographic career in his native state in about 1874. He married in Iowa and worked in Creston, Iowa, as a photographer, as well as in Hanover, Lisbon, and Littleton, New Hampshire. He moved to Buffalo in 1887, where his studio, "E.F. Hall & Co." at 306 Main Street, succeeded that of Powelson. At the annual convention of the national association of photographers in 1891, held in Buffalo, E.F. HALL was awarded the best collection of portrait photography. In 1894, he moved to 469 Virginia Street, which appears in "Catalogue of the Second Annual Exhibition of the Buffalo Chapter of the American Institute of Architects," March 1895. He sold this studio in 1908 to Howard Beach but continued operating there with Beach as "Hall's Photographic Studios" until 1913.
