The Lucas–Johnston House (also known as Augustus Lucas House) is an historic colonial house at 40 Division Street in downtown Newport, Rhode Island.
The house was built around 1712–1713. It was the home to French Huguenot settler, Augustus Lucas, a slave trader and attorney, and later his grandson, Augustus Johnston, who was a Tory who served as Rhode Island Attorney General and is the namesake of Johnston, Rhode Island. The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1971.[2]
