Interesting that there is a slight difference between the two photos. The previous photo shows 2nd floor window to the left of the balcony has both shutters. This view only shows one shutter.
[As noted below, the two pictures are of different sides of the house. - Dave]
If you had read my comment, you would see I didn't say it wasn't the same house. Between the two pictures, there is a difference in the second window from the right on the second floor. A shutter was removed between the taking of the two photos.

The paint on this house, what there is left, is not peeling at all. The finish seems just to have worn off. Could this have been whitewashed?
The other house from the link looks completely different. The columns, woodwork etc. look different. Could this be the back of the original house?
