Mary Hall was born in Manchester, England. She married Walter R Hall in 1899. The couple moved together to Langley sometime around 1913. They would live together in the Hall house for 44 years. When Mrs. Hall arrived she did not know much about running a household, and another local woman, Mrs Stanley Towle, taught her about domestic work. Mrs. Hall would be later known for her award winning butter making and cooking skills. She was a member of the St. George Anglican Church in Fort Langley. She died in 1957 at the age of 89. She left behind a daughter.

Walter Reynolds Hall was born in 1871 in Staffordshire, England. It appears Hall came to Langley around 1913 and worked as a bee-keeper and farmer. The Hall farm was on Telegraph Trail near Fort Langley. Walter Reynolds Hall died September 14, 1961 in Nanaimo, B.C. He is buried in the Fort Langley cemetery beside Mary Hall (1868-1957).

A small log cabin, built by John Stevens Pratt and not destined to survive, was the original structure situated at 22089 Telegraph Trail. In 1890 the living space was expanded by adding an extension. 1910 saw the purchase of the property by Walter Reynold Hall who rented it out while he returned to his native Burton on Trent, England. Three years later in 1913 he took up permanent residence back at Telegraph Trail. Over the years the dwelling was enlarged and added to as family circumstance dictated. Walter left this home in 1959, two years after his wife's death, and moved to Parksville, BC. The house was rented out for a number of years and then, in 1976, Mr. and Mrs. Peter Niblock (granddaughter of Walter Reynold Hall) moved in. They added an extension to the north side of the house, taking care to harmoniously incorporate the new style. The house has an interesting appearance with its renovations and range of roof styles. The little log cabin is long gone but the original extension is now the living room of the current home. The property also includes a number of agricultural outbuildings that were constructed as needed during the years 1910 to 1920.
