The Fig Tree Restaurant at the Lucas House got its name from the original owners of this 1913 historic house, John Paul & Alice Craft Lucas, and a Brown Turkey fig tree that once prospered at the rear of the house.

The Lucas House is representative of suburban development for middle-class residents in the Elizabeth neighborhood that took place prior to World War I. The house is situated across from Independence Park, one of Charlotte’s first public parks, on the corner of East 7th Street and Louise Avenue, about one mile from Center City. The interior finishes as well as the exterior have survived with original materials and are thus intact examples of the Craftsman homes constructed in the bungalow style in the early 20th century.

Our house features five elegant dining rooms.  Two dining rooms, a full service bar and two original grand fireplaces are located on the first floor.  Three intimate dining rooms and a third fireplace are located on the second floor.   Massive pocket doors on the first floor can be closed to divide the space into separate rooms, reflecting the original house concept.

We also feature full service dining on our veranda and patio, weather permitting.

The first-floor entry, dining rooms, bar, lounge and porch are fully handicap accessible.

Free on-site parking.
