Arthur F. Luke House is a historic house at 221 Prince Street in Newton, Massachusetts. The house, which is stories high, is built in a rustic Craftsman style. It is topped by a hip roof with three cross gables across the facade. It has two fieldstone chimneys which provide a rustic effect. A verandah extends from the entry to the right side of the house, ending up in a pergola-type arbor. The house was built in 1909 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.
