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