Building to draw with hesitation (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tower

'building' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'draw with hesitation' is the wordplay.
'draw' becomes 'tow' (both can mean to pull along).
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'hesitation' becomes 'er' (sound used when hesitating).
'tow'+'er'='TOWER'

'to' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for tower that I've seen before include "Wrote (anag.)" , "Rear" , "Tall structure" , "famous prison" , "One to pull" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
