Hull House  

Definición

  • Hull House, once a hospital and a furniture store, became Chicago's first settlement house when Jane Addams and Ellen Gates Starr began residing there in 1889. Hull House was among the first of hundreds of settlements in the United States whose work heralded a new social movement that attempted to bridge the distance between social classes through fellowship, recreation, social reform, and political influence.
