The Eastern Pilgrim House or the "Haifa Pilgrim House" is a Pilgrim House for Bahá’ís when they go on pilgrimage. The house was built after ‘Abdu’l-Bahá interred the remains of the Báb on Mount Carmel. The construction of this stone building was supervised Mírzá Ja’far Rahmání of 'Ishqábád, who also paid all the expenses. It is known as the "Eastern Pilgrim House", as for decades it housed the Persian pilgrims. After 1951, when the Western Pilgrim House at 10 Haparsim Street became the seat of the International Bahá’í Council, it became the Pilgrim House for all pilgrims. | ||
