The "settlement" that Adams was referring to is Hull House, a settlement house in Chicago founded by Jane Addams and Ellen Gates Starr. Hull House was a social service center that sought to bridge the gap between the wealthy and the poor and to provide a wide variety of services, such as education and healthcare, to the immigrant communities living in the area.
