Gilchrest is a historic farmstead on New Hampshire Route 137 in Harrisville, New Hampshire, United States. This 1.5 story wood frame Cape style house was built in 1817, and is one of three 19th century or earlier farmhouses to survive in its immediate area (the others are Glenchrest and the Moses Eaton, Jr., House). The main block is five bays wide with a center entry flanked by sidelights; there is a small ell to the left which is offset to the back of the main block. The property also includes a surviving 19th century pine shed and root cellar.[2]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.
