Hull House
Hull House Chicago, 2010, gelistet im NRHP mit der Nr. 66000315[1]

Hull House ist der Name einer wegweisenden Einrichtung der Settlement-Bewegung in Chicago. Das Hull House wurde 1889 im Stadtteil Near Westside von Jane Addams gegründet, die kurz zuvor bei einem London-Besuch die Toynbee Hall kennengelernt hatte und davon inspiriert worden war. Eine weitere Gründerin war Ellen Gates Starr.

Das Hull House wurde nicht nur als Zentrum der Nachbarschaftshilfe und Erwachsenenbildung für die überwiegend italienisch sprechende Stadtteilbevölkerung verstanden, sondern auch als sozialwissenschaftliche Forschungseinrichtung. Es ist inzwischen der University of Illinois angegliedert.
