The Anchorage is a historic home and farm complex located near Charlottesville, Albemarle County, Virginia. The original section of the house, built about 1825, consists of a two-story, brick hall and parlor plan dwelling with a raised basement and a slate roof. About 1850, a north facing brick wing was added and the house was remodeled to reflect the then popular Italianate and Gothic Revival styles. An existing porch was later made two-story, and, in the early 1900s, a small wood framed kitchen wing was added. Also on the property are a contributing barn and family cemetery.
It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2001.
