Julius along with brother Ed (E E, the Carthage photographer) and their father built the building now standing at southwest corner of 4th & Main streets, This was mentioned by Mrs E O Brown 27 JUL 1935 when an article was published in the Carthage Press, as transcribed by Nancy Brewer, which in part said, to wit:

~ "The only building in the lake area was the structure occupied by the Carthage Daily Banner, facing Main street, on part of the site of the present B & L building. It stood on piles 10 feet high to put it above the water and to the street level.
"At the southwest corner of the square where the College Pharmacy now stands the drop to the lake level was probably 20 feet. In later years when R. Roessler and his sons, Julius and Ed built the brick building now occupied by the College Pharmacy, the workmen excavated deep and laid drain tile to carry off the water from the principal spring that fed the lake.
"The water was carried to an open ditch that is now a walled-in storm sewer on West Fourth street. As other buildings were erected, the lake was drained and the hollow filled to bring it to the street level."
, also the subject of Jo Ellis in her Joplin Globe article of 2013.
