notes "Place of Delight. The site on the plain of 'Akká which gives its name to the Mansion which was the last residence of Bahá'u'lláh. Originally built by 'Abdu'lláh Páshá in 1821, it was later restored and expanded by 'Údí Khammár, who completed it in 1870. The Mansion of Bahjí became empty in 1879 when the Khammár family fled an epidemic disease, probably bubonic plague. Bahá'u'lláh took up residence in the Mansion in 1879... On 29 May 1892 Bahá'u'lláh passed away and was interred in the small house adjacent to the Mansion. This small house became His Shrine, the holiest spot on earth, and the Qiblih of the Bahá'í Faith..."
