stick some pews in there, stick a cross outside, and put a podium in there and is it a church?

Yep. Peter declares that Christians are the house of God, and that judgment must begin with us. The house of God has moved from the physical realm of the temple, to the spiritual realm of our hearts. When Christians are together for corporate worship, we are the "house of God." Likewise, when we are separated, we are still the "house of God."

Well Church was defined in to two ways. the church with small c and the Church with Capital C.
church- is a structural form, like buildings we're believers gather together to worship God. the place is described here
Church- on the other hand is a collective term for the group of people gathered together to worship God.the people is described here.
with that, I can tell you that it is possible to have a church with a small c anywhere, but of course, you should definitely have the Church with capital C to make a place be called as church

The House of God now refers to your heart. It is spritual. The question could and building be made into a church then yes, but that does not make it the house of god.

He said where there are 2 or more gathered together in my name ...there I am also.
A house of God can be anywhere a tent,a basement,an old bar as long as you love God and worship him, thats all he wants.

Everything is given to us by God. If we chose to use some parts of it as His house, and pray in it, then we should also treat that area with respect. So yes, anywhere where God is remembered is His house. Everything is his, and to Him everything will return.

" House of God " hmmm ? Odd concept. Since God CREATED everything and so is IN everything , isn't everything Gods "house" ? We can worship God anywhere but the most important place to do it is in our hearts.

Why not? Some religious groups meet in one another's homes. Some rent or buy an abandoned storefront or other unused structure and meet there. Isn't there a line about "wherever two or three are gathered in my name . . ."?

well, I wouldn't bother. I think you should be able to be in touch with whatever your concept of god is at any time, it doesn't have to be in a church.
I am not religious.
