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

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

The Gilbert House is described as significant for three reasons:

The home of one of Atlanta's earliest families

A rare example of fieldstone, mortar, and wood construction, an exceptionally significant technology

A rare existing example of an Atlanta farmhouse

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

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