By 2017, the structure was in a bad state of disrepair as termites infested much of the building's wood, the original floors were missing in much of the building, and there were several holes in the walls and roof that were allowing water to continue to damage the interior. The most significant damage was related to the pilings which sank and jeopardized the structure's stability. To fix the pilings the structure would have had to be lifted up and suspended in the air during repairs. It was determined that the weakened walls and roof were not strong enough and would have most likely crumbled apart.
