Richmond Academy of Medicine is a historic medical library building in Richmond, Virginia. It was built in 1931–32, and is a two-story, five bay square, brick and concrete Georgian Revival style building. The building features an elaborately-designed entry with a large broken pediment and a cartouche bearing a caduceus. The building houses a library, dining room, auditorium, and offices. It was designed specifically to house what once was a regionally significant collection of early medical manuscripts, art work, instruments and incunabula.[2]
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.
