The marker reads "Dorland-Bell Institute" in bold black letters. Below the text, there is a list of names and dates, including "Founded as Dorland Institute" and "As part of Warren Wilson College." The list is written in smaller black letters and is centered on the pole. The background of the image shows a street with houses and trees on both sides. The sky is blue and the weather appears to be sunny.
