You are most likely asking about the "mother temple" of North America, since wherever Baha'is meet to commune can be considered a house of worship, be it an Indian hogun, a meeting center, rain forest hut, etc. The North American House of Worship (temple) is located on Lakeshore Drive in Wilmette, Illinois, near the Canadian border. Its photo is linked below.

What is a baha'i church called?
A Bahai place of worship is called: 1) a Bahai house of worship, 2) a Bahai temple or 3) a Mashriqu'l-adhkar These are three different names for the same thing.
Where did the Baha'i worship anywhere?
The Bahai community is very widely spread across the world, but in small numbers. Most local Bahai communities meet in private homes, or in a rented hall or a Bahai centre, and the same places are used for worship meetings and other meetings. However specially dedicated Houses of Worship / Temples / Mashriq'ul-Adhkars (3 names for the same thing) have been built in some places. There are continental Houses of Worship (for example, the North American one in Wilmette, Illinois) and two national ones are about to be built (Congo and Papua New Guinea). Local communities, especially in the third world, may have a small house of worship or Bahai centre built with local resources, and plans for a number of smaller Houses of Worship have recently been announced in Cambodia, India, Kenya, Colombia and Vanuatu. These will be built with help from the Bahais around the world, and will be in permanent materials.
