Hull House

Jane Addams created the Hull House in Chicago as part of the settlement house movement in the late 19th century.

Hull House was a settlement house aimed at helping immigrants adjust to life in America. Hull House provided education, language assistance, and help with job skills. The program allowed Jane Addams to study the conditions of immigrant life and collect data on varying immigrant groups. Her studies provided information on the ethnic communities surrounding Hull House and began the field of social work in the US.
