"The
'sacred precincts' include the Shrine of
Bahá'u'lláh and the gardens
and landscaping surrounding the Shrine."
"The room
in which Bahá'u'lláh was
laid to rest shortly after sunset on the
day of His Ascension, 29 May 1892, had
been the northernmost room in the home of
His son-in-law, Siyyid Álí
Afnán. Shoghi Effendi, as Head of
the Faith... improved the entrance of the
Shrine and added the portico in 1940, and
erected the carved oak door in
1957."
