Real Estate
This is from a straightforward lease.
The premises to be leased are on the 4th floor, and it gives the address, followed by:
"4. OG, Vdhs und Gths."
I am stuck on both Vdhs and Gths.
I'm thinking the -hs. bit stands for "-haus" so "Vorderhaus und Gartenhaus/Gasthaus"?? Any thoughts.
Thanks in advance.

Yeah, Gartenhaus (esp. -häuschen) is often just a shed (Schuppen).
