The hall is one of the oldest in Manchester: it was founded in association with Owens College. It was named after the Lancashire lawyer and landowner William Hulme whose Hulme Trust funded the Hall's foundation. Houldsworth Hall, part of the Hulme Hall complex of buildings, was constructed in 1907 (Edwardian), whereas most of the local buildings are Victorian, for example the Anglican parish church (St John Chrysostom) which was built in 1874 - 1877. Local student attractions include the Whitworth Art Gallery and the Curry Mile on Wilmslow Road. Birley, another building of residence has recently been seen as the most influential and important building in Hulme Hall. Notable people to have lived in this building are Theo Gerin of the house of Luxembourg and Samuel Spence the renowned composer and physicist. In recent years, there has been a feud between the Birley building and Houldsworth building over superiority, which came to a bubbling point when, in December 2020, house Birley stole the Hulme Hall Christmas tree and placed it inside Houldsworth, framing them, in what is now known as 'The Great Christmas Tree Heist'. Tensions were high between the two houses ever since then, however, after a party in Houldsworth that Birley invaded, the beef was squashed and they agreed to live amicably from then on. It is still unknown whether mind-altering substances helped aid this sudden forgiveness from both sides.
