He then left Spokane to study architecture at Cornell University. He graduated from Cornell in 1913.[2] With fellow Cornell architecture graduate Ernest V. Price, he formed a partnership, the firm Whitehouse & Price, in 1913.[3] He was elected to the American Institute of Architects College of Fellows in 1959 and won the Allied Art Award in 1961.[2]

Whitehouse was married to Catherine Cox Weston from 1909 to her death in 1964, and later to Ruth W. Thompson until his death.[2]
