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]
Jeremiah S. Gilbert was the original owner of the land which is now the Perkerson neighborhood. [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
- 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.[2]
The house is also designated as a City of Atlanta Landmark Site. Visitors can view original family furniture, photographs, and artifacts.
