He was born in Halifax, Nova Scotia part of Newfoundland, and emigrated in 1845.[1] In 1861, he became the first professional photographer in Boston, Massachusetts. He kept a studio on Temple Place in Boston (c. 1868–1871).[2][3] For some years, he worked in partnership with Frank Rowell (as "Allen & Rowell").
