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[edit]
The Bunche house was developed in 1927 as part of the development of Kew Gardens.[3] The property, in which the house was eventually constructed, was continually bought and sold over the years.[3] 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.[3] In 1948, ownership of the property changed and in 1949, it was sold to Jack Sturm.[3]
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,[3] 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.[4]
Description[edit]
The style of which this house was built is a neo-Tudor style.[3] It was designed by the prominent Brooklyn architects Koch & Wagner.[3] The house stands at 2 1/2 stories and is faced in stucco pierced by random bricks and stones.[3] The house maintains its original wooden doors with iron strapping; the original leaded glass windows and slate roof are also maintained.[3] It is located in a suburban setting of single-family homes and is surrounded by mature trees and bushes.[3] The house is also situated on the crest of a hill and contains a terraced flagstone walkway leading from the street to the front door.[3] The house's attached gable is inset into the hill at the basement level.[3] The house is faced with random ashlar stones and has an opening that is stone-framed and arched segmentally; this opening is filled by wooden doors with small plain glass lights and metal strapping.[3] The house is three bays wide with a central, full height, projecting gable capped/adorned by a clipped roof.[3] The doorway, within the gable, is built within a round arched, stone-trimmed opening and holds a wooden door with a small, rectangular window covered by a decorative iron grille.[3] There is an original iron and glass lantern situated on the wall beside the door.[3] Additionally, there is a small, rectangular window within the gable above the doorway, along with a large, double-height window to the side of the entrance.[3] This window has leaded glass casements with a decorative stained glass motif of a knight on horseback at the bottom center of the window; this window is fronted by a small, iron balcony.[3] A pair of small rectangular windows are built near the top of the gable and are surrounded by half-timber framing.[3] There is a stucco-faced chimney on one side of the central gable.[3] The lower section of the chimney projects toward the front and creates another small roof and shape variety.[3] There is a small, open stone porch on the west side of the house's main section, while the east side contains a one-storey, stone-faced sun room with floor-to-ceiling casement windows.[3] This area is recessed behind a patio and the stone walls that rise up from the garage below.[3]

Kew Gardens was built as one of seven planned garden communities between the late 1800s and through to 1950 and is known as a haven for those who want plenty of greenery and quiet neighbors - the third largest park in Queens is within walking distance. Residents can walk or jog on a private road any time of the year, and there are even horseback riding paths. This is a neighborhood that is undergoing changes and is a great example of the old world meeting the future.
Architecture and landmarks
The real estate market and architectural style of Kew Gardens varies not just from one area to the next, but from one side of the street to the other. In most areas, it's easy to find a mix of one-family homes that sell for well over a million dollars, apartment complexes, coops, and buildings that have been converted to condos, though the most prevalent type of housing is apartment buildings between five and ten stories high. A trip to the border of the neighborhood, near Richmond Hill, reveals a number of small, attached homes, many of which are built for two- or three-families, though developers are tearing these down in favor of building apartment buildings. The classic architectural style in Kew Gardens was once English and neo-Tudor, and though older buildings in the area reflect this, modern buildings are taking over. Many people consider this neighborhood to be historically significant, but it does not have any landmark protection at all. Kew Gardens has only two entries on the National Register of Historic Places: Maple Grove Cemetery and the Ralph Bunche house.
Transport
Kew Gardens is an extremely accessible neighborhood both by car and via public transit. Those who drive can choose from the Van Wyck Expressway, Grand Central Parkway, Queens Boulevard, Jackie Robinson Parkway, and the Union Turnpike - all of which intersect at the Kew Gardens Interchange. There is a subway station at Union Turnpike that has access to the E and F trains, as well as a Long Island Rail Road Stop. There are five local bus routes along with numerous express bus routes straight to Manhattan.
Schools
There is one public elementary school in Kew Gardens, PS 99, which is a magnet school that's specifically for students who are interested in pursuing law. The majority of middle school students in Kew Gardens will attend Russel Sage Junior High School in nearby forest Hills, and the designated high school for the area is Hillcrest High School in the Jamaica neighborhood. There are no Catholic schools in the neighborhood, though there is one in Richmond and one in Forest Hills. The neighborhood has four Jewish schools.
Health
There isn't a hospital within Kew Gardens, but the closest options are New York Presbyterian in Flushing or Long Island Jewish Forest Hills Hospital. Residents can visit one of a few private practices in the neighborhood or visit one of the nearby neighborhoods to have the medical care they need.
Safety
