The Lucas Mansion, also known as the Hiddenite Center, is a historic home. It is in the census-designated place of Hiddenite, North Carolina. It was built around the year 1900. The mansion is a three-story, frame Queen Anne style building. It has a two-story porch. It was made bigger by 1928. Local tradition says the house was made bigger twice by raising the existing floor and building a new floor underneath or between the existing floors. The house roughly follows a cruciform plan, though the plan changes from floor to floor. It was owned by James Paul Lucas. Lucas was a merchant from South Carolina.[2]
Lucas Mansion was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.[1]
In 1981, Eileen Sharpe and R.Y Sharpe bought the mansion and made the Hiddenite Center.[3]
