Paul Luke House

Paul Luke House

A series of photos of Paul Luke's home at East Boothbay. Paul Luke at the dining room table, talking on the phone. The Home Office Paul and Verna Luke built their house a few steps away from the boatyard. That way Paul could keep on top of things in the shop and attend to business while he was at home. Verna, who had a big role in running the business, could also prepare lunch for the workers. As the crew gathered for soup and sandwiches from 11:30 to 12:30, no one was allowed to talk about the boat or the boatyard. Paul Luke believed that the lunch hour was a time for the workers to get away from their job.
