Seer angry in hideous building (7)

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)

'seer angry' is the wordplay.
'seer' becomes 'eye' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'angry' becomes 'sore' (similar in meaning).
'eye'+'sore'='EYESORE'

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for eyesore that I've seen before include "Monstrosity" , "terrible prospect" , "Something exceedingly ugly" , "bad sight" , "Ugly sight, not nice to see" .)
