Hull House was a settlement house founded by Jane Addams and Ellen Gates Starr in 1889. It was an experiment in collective living,[1] and often times was the home of socialist and anarchist revolutionaries.[2]
Early on, Hull House survived exclusively on private gifts from wealthy donors committed to social justice and tolerant of left-leaning radical work.[3]
In Twenty Years at Hull-house, Addams explained that after the McKinley assassination, the institution's reputation as a base camp for anarchists became a spectacle of the print media[4] carrying charges of "abetting anarchy".
