The Lucas Mansion, also known as the Hiddenite Center, is a historic home located at Hiddenite, Alexander County, North Carolina. It was built about 1900, and is a three-story, frame Queen Anne style dwelling. It features a two-story wraparound porch. It was enlarged to its present size by 1928. It was owned by James Paul Lucas, a South Carolina native and international diamond merchant.[2]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.[1]

The Hiddenite Center has restored the first floor of the Lucas Mansion with period furnishings and a collection of local gemstones and minerals. The second floor is used as a regional art gallery and includes a gift shop. The third floor features a large collection of dolls on display.[3]
