It is credited to the Philadelphia firm Cope and Stewardson and is associated with the Kane family, including Dr. Evan O'Neill Kane, who performed his own surgeries, and with family artifacts tied to Arctic exploration and the Civil War era.","narrative":"Anoatok is a three-story brick residence in Kane, Pennsylvania, built in 1896-97 with a cut sandstone foundation, buff face brick walls and a hip roof. Designed in the Georgian Colonial Revival style by the Philadelphia firm Cope and Stewardson, it was built for Dr. Elizabeth Dennistoun Wood Kane, one of the first women physicians to practice in northwest Pennsylvania, and her family. Its interior includes oak wainscoting, a cherry stairway, crystal chandeliers and fourteen fireplaces. Its significance rests on its architecture, its position as the largest home in Kane and its link to the Kane family. Dr. Evan O'Neill Kane, who lived there, was the first physician to perform self-surgery, including an appendectomy at age 60. The house also holds family papers and drawings by Elisha Kent Kane. In the mid 1930s it was converted into a wayside inn, which continues in operation.","period_of_significance":"1896-1897","architect_builder":"Cope and Stewardson, Architects-Philadelphia","architectural_style":"Georgian Colonial Revival","criteria":[],"status_note":"Converted to a wayside inn in the mid 1930s and remains a country inn.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-haiku-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.1-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 17:11:33.308221-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_PA/86000039.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/86000039/293ef26af5-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/86000039/293ef26af5-1600.webp","licence":"Public domain","author":"Pubdog (talk)","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Anoatok_Jun_09.JPG\" rel=\"noopener\">Pubdog (talk)</a>, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Anoatok_Jun_09.JPG"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71996004","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anoatok","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q4769827"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/pennsylvania/mckean-county/anoatok-86000039/"}
