Paul Goodloe McIntire (May 28, 1860 – 1952) was born in Charlottesville on East High Street on May 28, 1860[1] to G. M. McIntire and Catherine Clark McIntire. His father was a druggist in Charlottesville who served as mayor during the Civil War.
McIntire’s generosity to his hometown has shaped the community long since his passing in 1952.
John Hammond Moore introduced McIntire as follows in his book on the history of the Charlottesville-Albemarle area:
“McIntire attended the university briefly, worked as a messenger-clerk for the C. & O. Railroad, and then departed for Chicago and New York where he made a fortune in stocks and bonds. Returning to his birthplace in 1918, McIntire began distributing his wealth to local public schools, the University of Virginia, and his native city and county. In all, his bequests totaled $1,199,250; about one-half of this amount went to the university to promote cancer research and improve hospital facilities, establish a department of commerce and finance which bears his name, and build the handsome amphitheatre also named in his honor.” [2]
“McIntire gave the city of Charlottesville its public library and several parks and playgrounds...” [3]
McIntire is buried in Maplewood Cemetery.
During his career, McIntire's summer home was in Albemarle County. [4]
