I believe the answer is:

eyesore

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

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

'one seeing red' is the wordplay.
'one' becomes 'eye' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'seeing red' becomes 'sore' (I've seen this in another clue).
'eye'+'sore'='EYESORE'

'has' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for eyesore that I've seen before include "it looks bad" , "something one wouldn't want to see" , "Hideous sight" , "pigsty" , "It's offensively ugly" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
