The building in the foreground is known as the Tea House of 'Abdu'l-Bahá. Mr. Taherzadeh recounts that "One of the Covenant-breakers had built a blacksmith's shop next to the eastern wall of the Holy Tomb." Those buildings on the left must have been that blacksmith's shop. He goes on to say that "Shoghi Effendi removed these unsightly buildings." (The Covenant of Bahá'u'lláh, p.330). The building with the caved-in roof (shown in the photograph) was no doubt the "small one-story building with five rooms which was in ruins." [Ibid.]) It was completely demolished in 1952.
