That's really interesting, it looks like they're shifting the load because the roof weight cracked the beam. What is interesting is that reinforcement is now a pulling force on the post. The original joint put that into force into a flex at the top of the post stiffening the long beam so it could carry more weight. Or I could be completely off base!

That building is so warm and gorgeous.
