The House on Henry Street offers an intimate look into the heart of New York City's immigrant communities at the turn of the 20th century. Written by social work pioneer Lillian D. Wald, this enduring account chronicles the founding and development of the Henry Street Settlement. More than just a building, the Settlement became a vital hub for social reform and public health initiatives, profoundly impacting the lives of countless individuals and families.

Wald's narrative provides a unique perspective on urban poverty and the challenges faced by immigrant communities. Through her dedication and tireless efforts, the Henry Street Settlement became a model for social work and community development across the nation. This book remains a powerful testament to the importance of social justice and the transformative potential of compassionate action. A key text in understanding the history of social sciences and social activism in the United States.
