Holdouts: The Solitary Resisters of Real Estate

Real estate holdouts represent an architecture of defiance. Almost every place has one: the lone tenement dweller who wouldn’t budge; the homeowners who wouldn’t sell, so the road had to be routed around them; the old building that’s now so tightly wedged between new construction it seems about to be crushed.  Hyperallergic has several examples of this type of defiance.
