Anlaby House, Georgian country house in Anlaby, England.
Anlaby House is a three-story mansion built with yellow brick and stone trim, topped with a slate roof. The front facing Beverley Road has a balanced five-bay design that gives it a proportioned appearance.
The building was constructed in 1790 for merchant John Boyes and later passed through other hands. Over time it served different purposes before becoming homes for residents today.
The house shows how wealthy merchants in the area lived and designed their homes in the late 1700s. Its layout and room arrangement reflect the tastes and priorities of that era.
The building is now divided into several residential units and sits prominently on Beverley Road where it is easy to see. You can view it well from the street and appreciate its front facade from different angles.
During World War II the house served as a storage depot for air raid protection equipment and supplies. This wartime role reveals how civilian buildings were repurposed for national defense.
