John Innes Kane Cottage, Tudor Revival estate house in Bar Harbor, Maine, United States

John Innes Kane Cottage is a 2+1⁄2-story Tudor Revival house at 45 Hancock Street in Bar Harbor, built of stone through the first floor and half-timbered wood frame above. Its roughly L-shaped plan has a complex cross-gabled roof with vergeboard, pendants and finials on the gables and flared eaves. The land-side entrance on the west sits under a gable-roofed portico on heavy wooden timbers; the water-facing east facade is symmetrical, with cross gables flanking a central porch. A servant's wing extends west from the north end, and the original carriage house and caretaker's house stand on the grounds.

The house was built between 1903 and 1904 for John Innes Kane, grandson of John Jacob Astor, one of the most influential business figures of his era. The estate was among the few structures that survived the major Bar Harbor fire of 1947.

The great hall of the John Innes Kane Cottage carries Colonial Revival woodwork inside a Tudor Revival shell: Tuscan columns, paneling and crown molding, with plainer versions of the same details in the upstairs private rooms. The house was built for John Innes Kane, a great-grandson of John Jacob Astor, and later passed to his nephew Peter Augustus Jay in 1926.

The house stands at 45 Hancock Street, near the village of Bar Harbor, on a bluff above Frenchman Bay. The carriage house and caretaker's house, built with the main house in 1903-04, still stand on the grounds. The estate was in poor condition after 1991, so check current access before planning a visit.

The western entrance features a gable-roofed portico held up by heavy wooden timbers leading to rooms with detailed wood paneling. These architectural details show the craftsmanship that went into homes built for the wealthy elite of that time period.
