The barn was restored in 1984, but doesn't seem to be actively maintained. It's an easy walk from many of the hotels nearby, and there were quite a few other people checking it out while I was there; the location appears to be open to anyone who wants to check it out (however, the barn itself is locked.)

The Fountaingrove area was first settled by Thomas Lake Harris. Harris purchased 1400 acres of land for a mere $21,000 and established his commune in 1875. Most of its settlers were followers of Harris's Brotherhood of the New Life and moved with Harris from their previous colony at Brocton, New York.
Destroyed by the Tubbs Fire in 2017.
A number of buildings were erected including a winery which produced 70,000 gallons of wine, about 90 percent of the wine in Sonoma County at the time. The Round Barn was built in 1899 and is the landmark for the Fountaingrove Ranch. It was built by John Clark Lindsay, a contractor from Napa who settled in the area in 1898. Lindsay was hired to build the barn by Kanaya Nagasawa who came to Sonoma County with Harris. Nagasawa Kanaye (1852-1934) was Harris's California lieutenant who acted as developer and manager of the community's 2,000 acres (8 km2) of vineyards near Santa Rosa. He also succeeded Harris and acted as leader of the brotherhood until 1934.
The Round Barn is actually a 16-sided building approximately 70 feet in diameter and almost 60 feet high that originally housed the horses used in the vineyards.
