A May 23, 1975, video recording by the Historic American Buildings Survey and Press Democrat columnist Gaye LeBaron shows Fountaingrove Ranch in Santa Rosa (Public domain video.)
What a beautiful place it was. Not much of the old winery left now, the crumbled remaining walls seen out of office windows & from the walking trail & although there's the historical info on the history of the society, Thomas Lake Harris & Nagasawa, this Gaye LeBaron video & its images are really interesting.
Guess I manage the only acres of grapes near the old winery. 3 acres of Syrah across the Round Barn Blvd., North end of the property. Sure wish there was a way to keep the old place...

Just saw this video today 2-2-16 at the Sonoma County Museum. Great it's on You Tube. Thanks.
Thank you for sharing this. Great to see it the way it once was. Its demolished as of about a week ago. happy I saw it in person.
