A Rare Opportunity to Own a Piece of American History! Built in 1941 for renowned educator, diplomat and Nobel Peace Prize recipient Ralph J. Bunche, this distinctive Brookland residence was commissioned by Bunche and designed by noted African American architect Hilyard R. Robinson in the International Style. Bunche lived here during a pivotal period of his career at Howard University and in U.S. government service. He later became the first African American awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, receiving the honor in 1950 for his work mediating peace in the Middle East. Located at 1510 Jackson Street NE, the residence is recognized for both its architectural and cultural significance and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1993. A truly unique opportunity to preserve and own a Washington residence connected to one of America's most distinguished diplomats and champions of international peace.
