            This building was completed in 1939 to house the medical school. The university named it for Richard Henry Whitehead, dean of the medical school and a professor of anatomy. Whitehead was born in Salisbury, North Carolina, and became dean of the medical school in 1890. Because the university had not offered any medical training since 1885, Whitehead faced the difficult task of organizing a medical school from scratch. He also served as the university physician and built his own practice in Chapel Hill. In 1905, he left Chapel Hill to become dean of the medical school at the University of Virginia.
