Dr. Diffenbacher was a local dentist. He was also the brother-in-law to Anna Young-Keller, of the Keller House. The Diffenbacher property and the Keller’s 7-acre estate to the west used to be adjoining, but the lots in between have been developed.

All Local Historic Plaque Recipients are entered in the Colville Heritage Register and receive one of these burnished copper plaques bearing the date of construction of the building. If you're wondering why the plaques are copper, and not the traditional bronze, it is because it was primarily copper, along with lesser amounts of associated metals, such as silver and gold, which created the impetus for settlement of this area.
Year built or dedicated as indicated on the structure or plaque: 1907
