January 27, 2012; Source: NPR | NPQ is sad to note the closing of the historic Jane Addams Hull House, the first settlement house in the country and a model for thousands of community-building organizations to follow.

This is a link to an NPR story on the topic, but the story is still quite incomplete. Watch NPQ for more on this, and we would love to hear your reactions. What does Hull House mean to you? –Ruth McCambridge
