NYFE Summary
Ralph Bunche and his family bought this home in 1952. He had received the Nobel Peace Prize for negotiating armistice agreements between Israel and its Arab neighbors. During his years here, he helped develop United Nations peacekeeping and programs supporting countries emerging from colonial rule.
A large chimney rises beside the projecting front gable. Leaded windows, stucco and exposed wood give the house the appearance of an English country home.
