Columns

The earliest Columns were in rendered laterite stone and were large and sculptural. Later wood was extensively used specially on the upper floor. These were very slender and completely in contrast to the massive stone Columns. From the 1930's reinforced concrete was the norm and they were cast in intricate wooden moulds.
