Gilbert's Cabin is in North Cascades National Park, in the U.S. state of Washington. Constructed by a private citizen named Gilbert Landre, the cabin was intended as a private residence and is located at the site where Landre may have built an earlier cabin in 1888. The cabin is {{convert|18|by|25|ft|abbr=on}} and was constructed from hand-hewn planks {{convert|17|in|abbr=on}} in thickness.{{cite web|last=Luxenberg|first=Gretchen|title=Gilbert's Cabin|work=Structure Survey|publisher=National Park Service|year=1984|url={{NRHP url|id=88003453}}|format=pdf|accessdate=June 14, 2014}} Uniquely, the cabin walls are held together with dovetail joints at the corners. Gilbert's Cabin is the only building in North Cascades National Park constructed in such a manner. Gilbert's Cabin was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.
