The image is a circular plaque on a white wall. The plaque is made of metal and has a dark green patina. The text on the plaque reads "Houndgate Hall, Dr. John L. Kirk, B.A.M.B.B., B.C. Founder of the Kirk Collection, Now in the Castle Museum, York. Lived here from 1910 - 1938." The plaque appears to be old and weathered, with visible signs of wear and tear.
