* [[Saint Paul Seminary School of Divinity|Saint Paul Seminary]], [[Saint Paul, Minnesota]].
** [[Cretin Hall]], Loras Hall, a gymnasium (now the Service Center), a classroom building, the refectory building, and the administration building in 1894 were commissioned by [[James J. Hill]]. Cretin and the Service Center no longer stand as of 2024, on the [[University of St. Thomas (Minnesota)]] campus, as they were torn down to build a controversial new hockey/basketball arena.
* [[Minnesota State Capitol]], [[Saint Paul, Minnesota]], 1895–1905.
** Designed in [[High Renaissance]] [[Renaissance architecture|style]], the building is not a replica of the [[United States Capitol]]. Local newspapers made a fuss when Gilbert sent to [[Georgia (U.S. state)|Georgia]] for [[marble]], but the result, in which a hemispherical [[dome]] caps a high drum not unlike that of [[St. Peter's Basilica]], crowning a building housing the bicameral legislature and the state supreme court, was so nobly handsome that [[West Virginia]] and [[Arkansas]] contracted for Gilbert capitols as well. Its brick dome is held in hoops of steel.{{citation needed|date=October 2018}}
* St. Clement's Episcopal Church, [[St. Paul, Minnesota]], 1895.
** Designed in the traditional [[English country house|English country]] church style, with a [[lychgate]] and close, [[bell tower]], and [[Church hall|parish hall]] (renovated in 2006). Funded by a generous donation from Mrs. Theodore Eaton, widow of the rector of St. Clement's Episcopal Church in New York City. Includes original furniture, [[baptismal font]], [[encaustic tile]] floor in choir, elaborate [[rood screen]], linen-fold paneling, and [[parquet]] [[oak]] floor in [[sanctuary]]. The altar features [[Tiffany glass|Tiffany Studios]] [[stained glass]] window depicting the empty [[Christian cross|cross]].

* [[St. Louis Public Library]], [[St. Louis, Missouri]], 1912
** The main library for the city's public library system, in a severe classicizing style, has an oval central pavilion surrounded by four light courts. The outer facades of the free-standing building are of lightly rusticated Maine granite. The Olive Street front is disposed like a colossal arcade, with contrasting marble bas-relief panels. A projecting three-bay central block, like a pared-down [[triumphal arch]], provides a monumental entrance. At the rear the Central Library faced a sunken garden. The interiors feature some light-transmitting glass floors. The ceiling of the Periodicals Room is modified from Michelangelo's ceiling in the [[Laurentian Library]].<ref name=Fact_Sheet>{{cite web | title=St. Louis Public Library | work=St. Louis Public Library Fact Sheer | url=http://www.explorestlouis.com/factSheets/fact_publib.asp?PageType=4 | access-date=January 26, 2007 | url-status=dead | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20061217004949/http://explorestlouis.com/factSheets/fact_publib.asp?PageType=4 | archive-date=December 17, 2006 }}</ref><ref name=Stocker_1985>{{cite journal | author = Stocker EB | title = St. Louis Public Library | journal = Journal of Library History | year = 1985 | volume = 20 | issue = 3 | pages = 310–12 | url = http://www.gslis.utexas.edu/~landc/bookplates/20_3_StLouisPublic.htm | url-status = dead | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20070112102822/http://www.gslis.utexas.edu/~landc/bookplates/20_3_StLouisPublic.htm | archive-date = January 12, 2007 }}</ref>

He enjoyed a close working relationship with Oberlin's president [[Henry Churchill King]], but his relationship with Oberlin deteriorated after King retired in 1927 and most of the design work and construction supervision of Bosworth Hall and its residential quadrangle was done by Gilbert's son Cass Jr., who had earlier supervised the construction of the Allen Memorial Hospital (1924) in Oberlin (now [[Mercy Allen Medical Center]]).

** Gilbert's last major project, guided to completion by his son, Cass Gilbert Jr. He died a year before it was completed. A vast [[Roman temple]] in the [[Corinthian order]] is penetrated by a cross range articulated with pilasters in very low relief. The central tablet in the richly sculpted frieze reads <small>[[Equal justice under law|EQUAL JUSTICE UNDER LAW]]</small>. His design for the U.S. Supreme Court chambers was based upon his design for the West Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals at the state capitol in [[Charleston, West Virginia|Charleston]]. The pediment sculptures Liberty attended by order and Authority (great lawgivers [[Moses]], [[Confucius]], and [[Solon]] are on the West Portico) were executed by [[Hermon Atkins MacNeil]].
