What happens when a developer moves in to a neighbourhood and buys up the houses for a new shopping centre or apartment complex and one person doesn’t want to sell? You get a nail house.

I used to think that we had one in West End near the Three Monkeys coffee shop but someone told me the developer owns it – still, it’s an old Queenslander surrounded by an appartment complex so I guess it’s a nail house. With all that in mind, deputydog.com has some great stories of nail houses from around the world.
