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.^[2]

The Gilbert House is described as significant for three reasons:^[2]

• The home of one of Atlanta's earliest families
• A rare example of fieldstone, mortar, and wood construction, an exceptionally significant technology
