[...]RELATIVELY RECENTLY, SCHOLARSHIP ON AMERICAS settlement houses cultivated and then continued to confirm three common assumptions on the topic: that settlement houses were secular, catered almost exclusively to newly arrived immigrants, and were encapsulated by the time frame in and around the turn of the twentieth century.1 Chicagos Hull House, Americas most famous settlement house, founded by Jane Addams and Ellen Gates Starr in 1889, provides the perfect model to examine (and re-examine) these suppositions. According to its founder, Samuel Barnett, these class differences were exacerbated by physical distance, which made "friendship between the classes almost impossible. According to scholar Daphne Spain, Hull House was so successful that "it grew in actual and mythic stature after other settlement houses had faded from the scene. "12 Hull House arguably has become the successful settlement house narrative because of its pioneering settlement house activities, its skilled and high-profile cofounder, and because of the number of prominent people it nurtured over its long tenure, particularly during the Progressive period.
