Немного истории

Hull-House was the first settlement house in the United States, founded by Jane Addams and Ellen Gates Starr in 1889 to provide social services to Chicago’s immigrant communities. It grew to include 13 buildings and became a hub for reform, influencing child labor laws, women’s suffrage, and public health. The museum now occupies two of the original buildings.
