The Roehls fully retired from the mercantile business in 1902 due to new trade agreements between the U.S. and Canada. The Roehl brothers actively participated in real estate investments and dealings, and operated property that was considered some of the best at the time. Among their properties were the Hotel Byron (later the Leopold Hotel), the Lighthouse Block in Whatcom, and the Knights of Pythias Building in Fairhaven, Washington. In 1898, Roehl participated in the Klondike Gold Rush. (en)
