The early 20th Century Tudor Revival house at 115-25 Grosvenor Road was home to diplomat, Ralph Johnson Bunche. Bunche was the highest ranking African-American in the United Nations Secretariat, and winner of the 1950 Nobel Peace Prize (both the youngest and the first non-caucasian to be so honored). He was responsible for negotiating the Arab-Israeli truce of 1949 and settling the Suez Canal crisis of 1956. Those and other accomplishments earned his Kew Gardens home a spot on the National Park Service's Register of Historic Places.
