Anderson was born in Hobart, Tasmania, the son of Maria (née Lipscombe) and William Appleby Anderson and spent his early years in New Zealand. He was educated at Toorak College, Melbourne, and at 12 years of age he commenced senior education at Newington College (1881–1883). His three years at Newington coincided with the headmastership of Joseph Coates. In 1884 Anderson was articled in architecture to A L and G McCredie architects and consulting engineers and in the ensuing five years studied at Sydney Technical College.

Before the formation of the Sydney Harbour Trust, Anderson was responsible for the design of the majority of the wharfage premises, including wharves, stores and depots, on the eastern side of Darling Harbour. These included: • Union Company • Messrs. Huddart, Parker and Company • Australian United Steamship Navigation Company • Vacuum Oil Company • British Australian Oil Company. All of these buildings have now been demolished with the redevelopment of this area of Sydney Harbour.

Anderson's designs for retail buildings included the Bon Marche store on Broadway for Marcus Clark & Company and the Mark Foy's store and numerous warehouses. For the Foy family he also designed residences in Waverley, Pymble and Narellan.
