Firstly, why would you kill the Old Man? Did you kill him as Skeletron?

Secondly, a suitable house has the following,

- Chair

- Table (Or crafting bench)

- A light source

- Background wall

- Walls

I'm guessing you have these requirements.

Thirdly, I suppose it was a small glitch when it said 'Shop' instead of 'Curse', but even though your NPC's died, they will respawn. Just kill the Skeletron and the Clothier will spawn in your house. Unless you love your NPC's or something, don't be worried about that.
