Chinese 'Nail House' Owner Succumbs, House Pulled Down
Dec 1st 2012, 22:08

A house which stood alone in the middle of a newly constructed road in Chinahas eventually been demolished after its owner, Luo Baogen, who earlier refused to sign an agreement to allow his house to be pulled down, finally signed the agreement after discussions with the local government and his relatives.
 
The house which is dubbed "nail house" drew global media attention due to its eye-catching location in the midst of a roadway.
 
"It was never a final solution for us to live in a lone house in the middle of the road," owner Luo Baogen told the Xinhua news agency. "After the government's explanations, I finally decided to move."
 
The Wenling city government will pay Luo 260,000 yuan (41,750 dollars) and give him a parcel of land for a new house, Xinhua said.

Before he signed the demolition agreement on Friday, Luo had always rejected that sum, arguing that he had spent 600,000 yuan on constructing the home more than 10 years ago.
