The following pictures are from a one year builder warranty inspection I did today. There are three columns on the front porch. The top two thirds of the columns are painted wood (cedar maybe?) the bottom third is brick veneer.
All three columns have a black growth on them. The client said it just started about a month or two ago. If you notice in the pics, the black is only on the columns and not on the header or the soffit. The header and soffit were fabricated out of cement board (Hardi Plank).

I totally agree with Scott. My front porch does the EXACT same thing and Clorox takes it off. This side gets no sun whatsoever and the, we’ll call it MILDEW, builds up fairly quickly.
