Incline towards a simple building (4-2)

I believe the answer is:

lean-to

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

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

'incline towards' is the wordplay.
'incline' becomes 'lean' (synonyms).
'towards' becomes 'to' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'lean'+'to'='LEAN-TO'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for lean-to that I've seen before include "Building put up against another" , "Outbuilding propped against another wall" , "Building added to another" , "Building with roof resting against larger building (4, 2)" , "Add-on building" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
