A structure built on to another structure to produce an enlarged building. As used in a fire insurance policy covering buildings and additions or personal property located in buildings and additions, the terms "additions" or "additions attached" are given a liberal construction in favor of the insured consistent with the intention of the parties. Effect is to be given to them by applying the terms to any building reasonably answering the description, provided such application is not inconsistent with other terms of the policy or clearly excluded by the facts and circumstances surrounding the parties at the time of the execution of the contract. 29 Am J Rev ed Ins § 294.
