Colom]].<ref>Bolivar Pagan. Historia de los Partidos Politicos Puertorriqueños. (1898–1956). Tomo I CAPITULO CUATRO: Se establece el régimen civil. Las elecciones de 1900 y 1902.</ref>

Pedro Juan Rosaly is best remembered for having a magnificent residence (the [[Rosaly-Batiz House]]) built at the corner of Villa and Mendez Vigo streets by renowned architect [[Manuel V. Domenech]] and who, four years later, in 1904, himself became mayor of Ponce.<ref>United States Department of the Interior. National Park Service. National Register of Historic Places.

== Banker and businessman ==
Rosaly became the president of [[Banco de Ponce]] in the 1940s and established the first branch outside Puerto Rico, in [[New York City]].<ref>[https://enciclopediapr.org/encyclopedia/ponce-antiguo-banco-de-ponce/ ''Ponce, Antiguo Banco de Ponce.''] Enciclopedia Puerto Rico. 25 January 2010. Accessed 6 February 2019. See also, ''Ponce: Ciudad Museo, 2001.'' Gobierno Municipal de Ponce. 2001.</ref> <!--this can't be right; if he died in 1912; he can't have become president of the bank in the 1940s; I looked at the reference and it says the same thing... I wonder if 1900s was meant... however, the website says that the bank was founded in 1917; also after Rosaly died... perhaps a relative with the same name (a son) did found the bank?--> In 1901, Rosaly became the first person to be granted a franchise to develop local and long-distance telephone service in Puerto Rico. The business plan, however, did not proceed as it was not approved by the president of the United States.<ref>[http://ut.pr/biblioteca/LibroPR/LPR_Eng/Chapter_%20X._COMMERCE,_FINANCE_AND_COMMUNICATIONS.pdf ''El libro de Puerto Rico: Capítulo X: Comercio, Finanzas y Comunicaciones: Telegraph, Telephone, and Cable Service.''] Manuel Rodriguez Braschi.
