Historic Anderson House, St. John's, Newfoundland

Anderson House located at 42 Powers Court, St. John's, Newfoundland, Canada is believed to be the oldest structure in the city of St. John's.

Originally built for James Anderson, a Sergeant in the militia, the house is of modest construction and an excellent example of 19th century homes built circa 1804. It was built on land that was purchased from Dr. Jonathan Ogden, a Newfoundland chief justice, in 1802.

The house has found many usages from both the military and private residence. It has been used as a military barracks to a section of the house been used for a horse stable. It has been home to a number of families and at one time owned by the Roman Catholic Episcopal Corporation of St. John's.

On March 23, 1996 the Anderson House became a Registered Heritage Structure by the Heritage Foundation of Newfoundland and Labrador.
