House of 'Abdu'lláh Páshá
___________________
A group of buildings in ‘Akká, built by ‘Alí Páshá around 1810, and later serving as the Governorate of ‘Abdu'lláh Páshá. It was the home of ‘Abdu'l-Bahá from 1896 to 1910, and the birthplace of Shoghi Effendi. The remains of the Báb were concealed there for ten years before being moved to the Shrine on Mount Carmel. It was in the House of ‘Abdu'lláh Páshá that the first group of Western pilgrims met ‘Abdu'l-Bahá in 1898, and where Laura Clifford Barney recorded His table talks, which were later published as Some Answered Questions. ‘Abdu'l-Bahá wrote the first part of His Will and Testament while residing in the House of ‘Abdu'lláh Páshá. In 1975 the property was purchased by the Bahá'ís and restored as a place of pilgrimage.
[BD 105]
