In modern grammar, "anywhere" is analysed as a compound determinative consisting of the determinative "any" + the locative nominal base "where". Your examples are fused relative constructions in which "anywhere" combines, or fuses, the antecedent and the relativised element. The meanings are comparable to the non-fused: Put your jar in any [place that you want in my house ].
