House of ‘Abbúd

From Bahaikipedia

The House of ‘Abbúd refers to two houses in ‘Akká:

• The westerly house owned originally by ‘Abbúd himself. It was the first property to be rented after Bahá’u’lláh's release from confinement into house arrest.
• The easterly house which was owned by `Údí Khammár originally until he lent it to the Bahá’í holy family after a few years. ‘Údí Khammár also owned the Mansion of Bahjí which the Bahá’ís later acquired.

The house provided a home for Bahá’u’lláh's first wife Navváb and her family. It was in this building that the Kitáb-i-Aqdas and the Fire Tablet were revealed.
