Hull House was located in and took its name from the mansion built by Charles J. Hull in 1856. At one time located in a fashionable part of town, by 1889 when Addams was looking for a location for her experiment, that part of town had descended into squalor, in part due to the rapid and over-whelming influx of immigrants into the Near West Side neighborhood. Hull, a real estate magnate, granted his former home to his niece Helen Culver, who in turn granted it to Addams on a 25-year rent-free lease. By 1907, Addams had acquired thirteen buildings surrounding Hull's mansion. The facility remained at that location until it was purchased in 1963 by the University of Illinois-Circle Campus, which kept the original dining hall built in 1905, designed by Pond & Pond.
