VTRMC 2014 Problem 4

Suppose we are given a $19\times19$ chessboard (a table with $19^2$ squares) and remove the central square. Is it possible to tile the remaining $19^2-1=360$ squares with $4\times1$ and $1\times4$ rectangles? (So that each of the $360$ squares is covered by exactly one rectangle.) Justify your answer.
