Leonidas A. Brandhoefer Mansion
The Leonidas A. Brandhoefer Mansion is a historic three-story brick house in Ogallala, Nebraska. Built in 1887, the red bricks were made in Ogallala for Leonidas A. Brandhoefer, a banker and cattle breeder. He built the house for his fiancée, but when they met again in Chicago she had married another man, so the house became known as the Heart Break House. Brandhoefer later sold the house after his business failed and returned to Chicago. In 1966, the Keith County Historical Society bought and restored it. The mansion is in the Victorian style and sits on about 0.3 acres. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on October 3, 1973.
