1. A system for vertically molding concrete columns during a column casting process, comprising: a pair of elongate, U-shaped forms, positionable to define an elongate tetragonal mold cavity, each U-shaped form having a pair of elongate corners formed between an elongate end wall and a pair of elongate side walls; a pliable liner, attached to each of the U-shaped forms, and having at least one patterned surface exposed toward the mold cavity and being operable to form a pattern in concrete in an uncured state; a pair of notches, formed in each pliable liner externally of the mold cavity, extending along the pair of elongate corners and defining a pivotable joint between each of the side walls and the end wall; and securing structure, associated with the U-shaped forms and being configured to retain the forms in a secure configuration to receive the concrete in an uncured state within the mold cavity.
