Leah upset in court building (6)

I believe the answer is:

chalet

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

'building' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I don't see?

'leah upset in court' is the wordplay.
'upset' indicates anagramming the letters.
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'court' becomes 'ct' (abbreviation used in road names).
'leah' with letters rearranged gives 'hale'.
'hale' placed within 'ct' is 'CHALET'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for chalet that I've seen before include "Holiday cabin" , "Swiss summer hut" , "Swiss holiday home" , "Small cabin" , "Alpine lodge" .)
