The generic term for this junk is EIFS - Exterior Insulation and Finish
Systems http://www.eima.com/eima/eifs.htm
It is usually Styrofoam covered with a very thin layer of acrylic modified
cement, about 1/8" thick. Most times the cement layer has a reinforcing mesh
in it to reduce shrinkage cracks in the cement layer.

Possibly. The columns also might've been buried behind real stone, or
aluminum siding, or mirrors, or God Knows What kind of gawdawful crap. Or
maybe they were always exposed and you just never noticed 'em because they
looked right and not like Dryvit. Ruth Ralph
