The building connects to its wing on the east end.

To my understanding, it's 楼的东端与旁边的厢房相连。

agree	MY Lim : Yes. Or in other words, “the east end of the building adjoins to the wing room.” 18 hrs
agree	Sharon Toh, MITI MCIL : Yes, and I agree with Sharon Lim as well. "首" here refers to 'end'. 20 hrs

I don't think "wing" is easily understood here, so this makes clearer what the 厢房 is.
