Granville Owen Haller (1819-1897) was a U. S. Army officer who served in the Florida, Mexican, and Civil wars before coming to Washington Territory in 1852 with his wife Henrietta M. Haller (1824-1910) and their children, Alice May (Haller) Nichols (1851-1887), George Morris Haller (1852-1889), Charlotte (Haller) McKee (1854-1932), and Theodore Newell Haller (1864-1930). In 1860 they were stationed at the garrison at Fort Steilacoom in Pierce County; in 1870 at Whidby Island; in 1880 at Port Townsend. By 1890 they made their permanent home in Seattle in the fashionable First Hill neighborhood where they were a popular couple in Seattle society. Haller Lake in north central Seattle is named for son Theodore Haller, a prominent businessman and lawyer.

This portrait of Colonel Haller was taken in Seattle when he was about 75 years old.
