Ahh - I see Simon beat me to it :-)

Quoted text begins.what do Ionic columns mean, as opposed to say, Corinthian?
End of quote.


Well Norman, I found this reference, but it may be
inappropriate for

"... In Masonic architecture the Ionic column, distinguished for the skill
in its construction, as it combines the beauty of the Corinthian and the
strength of Doric, is adopted as the representative of wisdom"
