Anatok is a historic mansion in central Bardstown, Kentucky. The two-story, double-pile, brick Greek Revival home was built in 1847 for Charles (B. 02/20/1806 D. 05/06/1858) and Matilda (B. 05/03/1805 D. 06/10/1873) Haydon. The home has a limestone foundation, four brick interior end chimneys, and a standing seam hipped roof.
