PULLED OUT OF A SLUM
When Jane Addams turned Hull House in Chicago into a settlement house,
it was because of a slum. She wanted a place where the poor people of
the neighborhood could come for help. So she rented an old building that
once had been the home of a Chicago pioneer, Charles J. Hull. Soon, the
lady who owned Hull House gave it to Jane Addams.
As time went on, Hull House grew into many buildings. But now the only
one that remains is the original building. This building has been
restored as a memorial to Jane Addams and to all the good work she did
to help people. The building is located on the University of Illinois
campus in Chicago, Illinois.
