Nail houses

Inspired by Carl Fredricksen's house in Up, which was holding up construction of a massive building complex, deputydog uncovers some more such houses, which are actually called nail houses.

Another nail house is actually a nail church.

The engineer who built Citicorp Center made a mistake related to the church's accommodation and famously corrected it after the building was built.
