Hull House, Settlement house in Near West Side, Chicago, United States.
The Hull House complex expanded to thirteen buildings and included a gymnasium, theater, art gallery, libraries, pools, classrooms, and residential spaces.
Jane Addams and Ellen Gates Starr established Hull House in 1889 after visiting Toynbee Hall in London, creating the first settlement house in the United States.
The institution provided educational programs for immigrant communities from Eastern Europe, offering literature classes, domestic skills training, and lectures from scholars.
