I found an article published in the Harvard Crimson about a protest/riot next to the Motel. Apparently they were going to make a nuclear power plant or some thing like that there in 1980 and some people didn't like it very much.

This is an excerpt from the full article and the last part names the motel and gives a clue as to where this temple is located, or was located.

"-nightsticks in their hands, their backs to the towering construction site that will someday be the Seabrook Nuclear Generating Station. Shields in hand, protesters charge, slashing at the fence with boltcutters, tugging at it with grappling hooks. A stream of mace comes from the other side, where National Guard and state police beat at the shields and try to grab the cutters. Within minutes, a pepperfogger..."

"Back at the plant's main gate, on Rte 1 next to the Hawaiian Garden Motel, other demonstrators attempt a "blockade.""

We just need to find the main gate of this power plant. Any local TCers willing to do some sleuthing around over there?
