The Gillette House in Houston, Texas is a one-story frame cottage with a hipped roof that was built in 1904 in the Houston Heights area. James Gillette, the original owner, was an attorney.[2] It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.[1]

It was deemed notable as a "good example of a simple-type cottage built in early years of [Houston] Heights...for the rising middle-class population". There is Queen Anne influence in its architecture.[2]
