A Serious Game of Jenga....

I'm still trying to figure out how one would go about moving an entire building.  All I have been able to determine so far is that it must take a lot of careful digging and concrete cutting, some serious lifts and a lot of steady hands.
I was so intrigued by what I saw yesterday when I was out to dinner with a friend that I decided it deserved a second look and some photographic documentation.
So it's obvious that they've removed all the windows and filled them with cinder block, but what about the interior?  Are there braces holding the floors/ceilings up?  Or is the entire building full of blocks and mortar?

Amazing! I'll put Ethan on this one... I'm sure he'll have some answers.
