The former country home of Charles J. Hull was turned over to Jane Addams in 1889 and became an integral part of Hull House, an eventual complex of 12 buildings used for the social welfare programs of Miss Addams and her associates. The name Hull House also came to be associated with the program of activities conducted in these buildings. The restoration of Mr. Hull's home, made possible by contributions to the University of Illinois Foundation, is a memorial to Miss Addams, her life and works. The program carried on by the Hull House association is located in centers in various areas of the city of Chicago.
