Anchester House

I like the idea of naming houses, the way they do in Anne of Green Gables. Growing up, I called my many houses by their street names: Otillia, Merit, Baker Park, Foxchase, Cornelius. The formulaic naming process served a functional purpose, so creativity and meaningfulness weren't factored in. But one day, when I buy a house, I'd like to name it based on its personality.

Tonight I'm going to Anchester House to visit three Grand Rapids Dominicans, and I'm curious to learn the origins of its name.
