Near West Side Chicago Neighborhood History

According to historians, the Great Chicago Fire started on the Near West Fire. It left more than 100,000 people homeless and transformed the city.

In 1889, Jane Addams founded Hull House, which became famous for its social and cultural programs.

Though many Hull House's 13 buildings have been demolished, the original building still stands and has been deemed a Chicago landmark.
