English translation:

French term or phrase:en équerre avec à l'angle de
Contexte:
"En fait d'auberge, il s'agissait plutôt d'un manoir du premier quart du XVIe siècle. Composé de deux corps de logis **en équerre avec à l'angle des** bâtiments, la tourelle d'escaliers, Robert Morcel, au cours des années cinquante, avait tenu à restaurer dans les règles de l'art la bâtisse, apportant le plus grand soin à la décoration des lieux et à son ameublement."
Explanation: I think once we sort the parsing out, the underlying meaning becomes immediately clear.
One may assume that this turret housing the staircases is in the included angle of the 2 buildings in what appears to be an L shape, though of course it might equally well be the external angle (but I somehow doubt it) — I feel sure if the context included the actual building in question, it would be easy to find images to confirm or infirm.
