Ralph Johnson Bunche House
Ralph Johnson Bunche House, the last home of American diplomat Ralph Bunche (1903-1971),
is a National Historic Landmark in New York City. It is a single-family home built in 1927 in the neo-Tudor style, and is located at 115-24 Grosvenor Road, Kew Gardens, Queens. It is named after Ralph Bunche, who helped to found the United Nations in 1945. In 1950 he became the first African American and first person of color to win the Nobel Peace Prize, for mediating armistice agreements between Israel and its neighboring countries.
==History==
The Bunche house was developed in 1927 as part of the development of Kew Gardens.〔Document. Kurshan, Virginia. Landmarks Preservation Commission. Description & Analysis. May 17, 2005. Designation List 363 LP-2175〕 The property, in which the house was eventually constructed, was continually bought and sold over the years.〔 The Kew Gardens Corporation sold this property to Elena Goodale in 1920, who later sold it to Louis Frisse in 1926, who constructed the house.〔 In 1948, ownership of the property changed and in 1949, it was sold to Jack Sturm.〔
During the 1950s, Bunche lived in Parkway Village, an apartment complex in Kew Gardens Hills that was built for UN employees and that was one of the first in the country to be racially integrated. In 1952 Sturm sold the property to Ralph Bunche and his wife,〔 who were raising three children; the couple used the award money that came with the Nobel Prize to buy the house. He lived in the house until his death in 1971, and his wife lived there until she died in 1988.〔
