"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."
