1. Tom built the house.

2. The house Tom Built.

3. The house did Tom build.


I wonder the correct form of the inversion for sentence 1.

#'s 2 & 3 are not correct. Could be "The house was built by Tom". (Passive)

2 would be OK as a phrase, but as billmcd points out, it's not a complete sentence.
