All available data suggests this connection between the Mo's building and the 1886 building is the primary support to holding the current 1886 building from falling down due to gravity. The picture of the rear of the building, which was added in the 1990s, has been connected to Mo's to stabilize the structure (this is a fact we just learned). The floor joist is covered in black mold on the ends where they connect to the rotted wall studs.
In the picture of the floor joist you can see insulation is nonexistent, but loaded with sawdust and wood particles creating a tinder box for potential fires. This is the initial building wound that the City of Newport noticed that created an investigation into the overall integrity of the building. Picture of the tiles shows the West side of the building tiles are loaded with asbestos and studs are rotted. This phenomenon is consistent on both the long sides of the building, to the East and to the West. As you can see in the picture of the exterior bottom of the walls, which are connected directly to the concrete slab, are almost fully rotted out and the rot continues up each stud as they've been saturated with drain water for the last few decades. 29 different products in the building are hot with asbestos.
