Description

The original building of what came to be known as Hull-House was built to be a mansion by Charles Jerald Hull in 1856. Although it had originally been built in a fashionable area, by 1889, when Jane Addams and Ellen Gates Starr were searching for a plot for a new settlement house, the area had fallen into squalor. Charles Hull's niece, Helen Culver, the inheritor of the home, in turn, granted it to Jane Addams on a 25 year, rent-free grant.

By 1907, Hull-House had expanded to 13 buildings and consisted of a whole city block. These structures included a gymnasium, art gallery, kitchen, dining room, apartments, and more. In the apartments, volunteer residents, many of them women, donated their time to Hull-House in addition to becoming social reformers. These women went on the establish the city's first playground, the first juvenile court in the United States, and stricter child labor laws, among a multitude of other accomplishments.

Jane Addams remained the head resident of Hull-House from its opening until her death in 1935. By the 1960's, many of Hull-House's buildings had been displaced by the growing University of Illinois' urban campus. The settlement house continued its mission to provide social, economic, and educational opportunities for working-class people until January of 2012, wherein it became the Jane Addams Hull-House Museum.
