NAME ORIGIN: The house was built in the Swiss Gothic style for the Whitehead family prior to 1882.  HISTORY: Earliest records indicate this property was owned by Alfred Whitehead in 1878 who lived there with his three daughters: Eleanor Jane, Alfretta and Lizzie D. In 1882 the sisters conveyed the property to a relative and local businessman, W. Turney Whitehead and eventually the property ended up in the hands of the University of New Brunswick. The university  used the building as a ladies residence from 1960 to 1963, calling it “The New House”, complementing the  Maggie jean Chestnut House  and Murray House., both in the neighbourhead. When a new ladies residence, Lady Dunn Hall, was built on campus , local developers, Joe Gorham and John Bird purchased the property and converted it into four apartments. The Coach House at the rear of the property was used as a paint shop by Fredericton Housing Ltd. until it was converted into a single family rental home in the 1970’s.
