Location history
The earlier Wat Samakkiram directory entry gives 2 Delham Street, Portland and telephone 207-797-8554. Harvard's archived Watt Samaki account gives that same telephone number for the Portland community. Later reporting describes the community outgrowing its Portland property, purchasing land in Buxton in 2005 and obtaining building approval in 2008. (TempleNews, Portland directory entry) (Harvard Pluralism Project archive) (Buddhistdoor Global)
The earlier address is historical and is not current visiting guidance. This page retains the Buxton visitor location and the temple's appointment-only contact guidance; the planned Westbrook project is not substituted as a current visitor site.
