Anhalt was born to a farming family in Canby, MN, and moved at age 11 to North Dakota; he worked in several places in the Midwest as either a butcher or grocer; in 1917, he worked as a stone keeper in Westley, MT. He came to Seattle, WA, by 1924 or 1925 and worked first as a salesman for Hurley Store Fixtures Company; he then became co-proprietor of the Western Building and Leasing Company in Seattle. Anhalt had a very busy career between 1925-1930, during which time he set up a development company that produced a number of notable apartment projects around the city.
