However, the post office apparently remained open until 1906.[9] The community's last house was moved in 1923.[5] All that remains are the mining tailings and a cemetery.[7] Diamond CemeteryThe Diamond Cemetery is a small {{convert|0.25|acres|ha}} property that is the only remaining remnant of the former town of Diamond (one of the earliest mining camps in the Tintic Mining District. Very little of the original cemetery remains, but at least one gravesite is still maintained and visited by the family of Amber Rose and possibly a new addition to the cemetery in 2014.[10] The cemetery was added to the National Register of Historic Places March 14, 1979.[1][11] See also{{stack|{{portal|Utah|Mining|National Register of Historic Places}}}}
