Montréal Bahá'í Shrine is an important site to the followers of the Baháʼí Faith and a place of pilgrimage. A former house and residence of May and William Maxwell, it is the only private home in Canada where ʻAbdu'l-Bahá, the son and the successor to the Baháʼí Faith's founder, stayed during his journeys to the West.
Designation
[edit]In a June 1953 letter, Shoghi Effendi wrote that the house "should be viewed in the nature of a national Shrine, because of its association with the beloved Master, during His visit to Montreal."[1]
