Anatok was a historic mansion in central Bardstown, Kentucky. The two-story, double-pile, brick Greek Revival home was built in 1847 for Charles and Matilda Haydon.
The home had a limestone foundation, four brick interior end chimneys, and a standing seam hipped roof. It was named Anatok in the 1890s by then-owner James L. Druien. [1]
In 1900, a one-story Colonial Revival wraparound porch, supported by Ionic columns, and a pedimented dormer were added.
