Anderson House

Anderson House stands as a wooden two-and-a-half-story building with a hip roof design and symmetrical exterior at 42 Powers Court.

Built around 1804, the structure initially served as a residence for Sergeant James Anderson and later functioned as military barracks for local garrison officers.

The building represents one of the last remaining examples of late 18th and early 19th-century architectural styles that were prevalent in St. John's.

The structure maintains original features including large kitchen fireplace, traditional mantels, narrow clapboard siding, and wooden roof shingles.

After the St. John's fire of 1816, hip-roofed structures became uncommon, making Anderson House a rare architectural specimen from this period.
