10 Haparsim Street
From Freepedia
10 Haparsim Street often refered to as the old western pilgrim house is a building that is part of the Bahá'í World Centre built by `Abdu'l-Bahá, but only completed in the ministry of Shoghi Effendi. It was originally used as the Pilgrim house for the westerners, but has been used for other purposes more recently:
- From 1951 housed the International Bahá'í Council
- From 1963 to 1983 it served as the Seat of the Universal House of Justice
- From 1983 to 2000 it was occupied by the International Teaching Centre
Currently the Bahá’í International Community Secretariat and related offices utilize the premises.
