Correct! Janes experience at Toynbee Hall would guide her to finding purpose in her life. Torynbee Hall was a settlement house where university men <img src="http://spitalfieldslife.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/doc01524220140813150504_001.jpg" width="500" height="375" alt="University Men at Toynbee Hall"> would use their education to educate the poor. The settlement focused more on the education of culture, believing that knowledge could lift them out of poverty. Through this experience, she was inspired to create a similar settlement in Chicago but with one big difference, it would be women centered. This is how, with the help of her long time friend Ellen Gates Starr, the Hull-House was started in 1889.

At this period of time state street was the epicenter for consumerism. While many people came here to shop, this was not the best place for a settlement home. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/GG2h-bGjjlw" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen></iframe> [[Try Again|Toynbee Hall]]

Correct! The Hull-House was located on the block of South Halsted Street and West Polk Street. It stood as a beacon of hope for an immigrant population that was in a constant struggle to survive. The building of the Hull-House looked to further the communities education, while also establishing social services such as sanitation, education, and workers rights. The image shown below shows all the buildings that existed in 1912. At this point in time it had existed for about 22 years. <img src="https://hullhouse.uic.edu/hull/urbanexp/geography/images/hullhouse_06-1912_down.gif" width="517" height="481" alt="Hull-House"> Below is a time-lapse of development starting in 1889: <img src="https://hullhouse.uic.edu/hull/urbanexp/geography/images/hullhouse_06-to-animation_s.gif" width="517" height="481" alt="Hull-House"> Using the map below find the Jane Addams Hull-House Museum.
