The Jonathan Lucas House is at 286 Calhoun St., Charleston, South Carolina.

Jonathan Lucas, Jr., the builder of the house, was born in England and developed milling machines for rice, which led to a boom in rice planting in South Carolina.[2][3]

The National Historic Landmark house Hopsewee on the Santee River was also owned by family members, being purchased by John Hume Lucas in 1844.[4][5]
