It is now part of the Gorham campus of the University of Southern Maine (USM), housing the Center for Education Policy, Applied Research, and Evaluation (CEPARE).

[1] The McLellan House stands north of Gorham center, on the west side of School Street.

The interior has been repeatedly altered, especially due to different uses by the university, but retains a few elements of original trim and styling.

[3] The house was built in 1773 for Hugh and Elizabeth McLellan, who arrived in the area in 1740, and are counted among Gorham's earliest settlers.

It was acquired by Gorham State College (now the University of Southern Maine) in 1966 and converted to a dormitory.
