Forever Watching: Cincinnati’s Mad Mogul

At the turn of the twentieth century, Charles C. Breuer was one of Cincinnati’s wealthiest real estate moguls, but an explosive family feud over his scandalous marriage to a much younger housekeeper unraveled his empire into an escalating nightmare of lawsuits, madness, and a botched dynamite plot to blow up his own building. Declared insane after years of bitter courtroom warfare with his teenage daughters, the ruined tycoon found a tearful eleventh-hour reconciliation with his family just months before dying inside the infamous Longview Asylum. Even in death, Breuer’s bizarre legacy refused to rest—from proving too large to fit inside the custom luxury coffin he had proudly displayed in his parlor, to his final resting place in Spring Grove Cemetery, where a life-sized bust fitted with eerily realistic glass eyes still appears to track every move of passing visitors from beyond the grave.
