Czech term or phrase: loterního rohu
Zajímavé je zpevnění loterního rohu domu, které posílilo jeho konstrukci a současně zabraňovalo, aby se kola vozů dostala až ke stěně domu.

Reifnforcement of the .......................corner of the house.......if this indeed means a lottery house, as my colleague suggests, then I dare to say that it would be an incredibly bad use of czech language. However, I am indeed interested if the context mentioned anywher anything about there being a gambling establishment....
