The Jonathan Lucas House is a historic house in 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][4]
The National Historic Landmark house Hopsewee on the Santee River was also owned by family members, being purchased by John Hume Lucas in 1844.[5][6]
