The image is a photograph of a plaque on a stone wall. The plaque is rectangular in shape and has an ornate design on the top and bottom. The text on the plaque reads "The Oldest House Still Standing in Richmond, probably built 1787 by Jacob Ege, a gift from Mr. and Mrs. G. Valentine to the Association for the Preservation of Virginia Antiquities, Restored by Mr. & Mrs. Archer C. Jones, in 1924 placed in custody of the Edgar Allan Poe Shrine, now the Edgar Allen Poe Foundation, Inc." The plaque appears to be old and weathered, with some cracks and chips in the stone.
