The first Baha'i House of Worship was completed in 1908 in Ashkhabad, Turkmenistan, home to a large, early Baha'i community. The House of Worship itself was surrounded by gardens, at the corners of which were facilities for social welfare including a school, a hostel, and a small hospital. The House of Worship was expropriated by the Soviet authorities in 1928 and leased back to the Baha'is. Ten years later, it was confiscated completely. It was demolished in 1963 after suffering serious damage in an earthquake 15 years earlier.
