Is this "Shiloh" in Durham?

Shiloh. Durham, Maine.

Definitely Shiloh!

Shiloh Chapel, 38 Beulah Lane, West Durham. Built in 1897 (with an extension added the following year), Shiloh was built to support the evangelical preachings of John Sandford. By the early 1900s, Shiloh had grown to become its own community. However, by 1920, the Shiloh movement transferred its headquarters to Boston. Today, Shiloh Chapel functions as a community church.

My grandfather attended this church as a child. He is buried in the church cemetery. He was part of the Wiley family.
