What was the problem Addams' Hull House sought to overcome.
She did not make or build the house. She did acquire it and have it adapted to settlement-house welfare needs. the House was up before she bought into it, so to speak. The settlement house, the Hull House, purpose was to combat the slums by helping immigrants integrate into American society. Through the Hull House, immigrants were provided with social and educational opportunities in the surrounding neighborhood. Volunteers at the Hull House also held classes in literature, history, domestic activities, art, and other subjects. They offered lectures on current issues and held concerts free for everyone.
The name "Hull House" came from the original owner, Charles J. Hull. Jane Adams obtained the house from Charles J. Hull's niece Helen Culver on a 25 year free lease.
