Depicts a lane of poplar trees within the vineyard. One of the earliest agricultural enterprises in Fresno County, founded in 1872 by Francis T. and Gustavus A. Eisen, immigrant brothers from Sweden. The vineyard consisted of 640 acres planted in various grape varieties, including muscats, Malagas and Tokays, and it also included many ornamental horticultural plantings and landscapes. The first raisins produced commercially in Fresno County came from this vineyard. It was later managed by Augustine Eisen, son of Francis, and ceased operations during the 1920s.
