The Jeremiah S. Gilbert House is a NRHP-listed property in the neighborhood of Perkerson, Atlanta, United States. It is one of the city's oldest surviving structures.[2]

Jeremiah S. Gilbert was the original owner of the land which is now the Perkerson neighborhood.[2]

The Gilbert House is described as significant as the home of one of Atlanta's earliest families, a rare example of fieldstone, mortar, and wood construction, and as a rare existing example of an Atlanta farmhouse.[2]

After renovation in 1984, it was opened as a Cultural Arts Center operated by the City of Atlanta Office of Cultural Affairs.[2]

The house is also designated as a City of Atlanta Landmark Site. Visitors can view original family furniture, photographs, and artifacts.
