Frank McAllister was born in 1866 and died about 1950. The back is inscribed "To Hall from Frank". and dated April, 1881. He looks to be dressed in a militery uniform. May be a cadet uniform from St. Augustines. The date is supported by the fact that the Morse studio was at 417 Montgomery from 1871 to 1881.
