Ralph Johnson Bunche House, National Historic Landmark house in Kew Gardens, Queens, United States
The neo-Tudor structure at 115-24 Grosvenor Road features random ashlar stones, wooden doors with iron strapping, and leaded glass windows beneath a slate roof.
Built in 1927 by Louis Frisse, the residence became home to Nobel Peace Prize laureate Ralph Bunche and his family from 1952 until his death in 1971.
The residence stands as a symbol of African American achievement, marking the residence of the first person of color to receive the Nobel Peace Prize.
The house remains a private residence situated on a hill with a terraced flagstone walkway, surrounded by mature trees in a neighborhood of single-family homes.
The Bunche family purchased this house using funds from the Nobel Peace Prize, which Ralph Bunche received for mediating Middle East peace agreements.
