Bio: Goodrich Giles, born a slave, became Piqua’s first major African-American businessman and employer. In the 1880s he bought the Cottage Livery Stable on North Street and eventually went on to operate several more. He also owned three farms and numerous rental properties, and was an original investor in the Third National Bank. Giles was the first African-American to run, in 1886, for city council and he was the driving force behind building the Cyrene A.M.E. Church in Piqua.In 1901 Goodrich Giles along with Fountain Randolph started what became known as the “Randolph Ex-Slave Society”, holding yearly reunions of the freed Randolph slaves and their descendants.In 1927 the Classic Theater, built by Carl Anderson and Goodrich Giles, opened in Dayton. It is thought to be the first theater in the United States to be built, operated and managed by blacks for blacks. Movies in the 500-seat theater were shown downstairs, while live entertainment, with the likes of Duke Ellington, Ella Fitzgerald, Count Basie and the Mills Brothers took place upstairs in the ballroom. The Classic closed its doors in 1959 and, despite efforts to save the theater, was demolished in October 1991.The Goodrich Giles Memorial Park in honor of this prominent black man is located on South Main Street.
