I carefully scanned and de-screened it, and I wonder: When was this painted? When was that house built? Is it indeed, as I deduce, on the plot number 157? There are today two houses on that plot, but there is still visible, a square outline, which matches the pictured house in size and orientation. The two houses are both much smaller, but are of a similar sort of style.
This is a mosaic of Google Maps of plot 157, the area enclosed by the two sets of steps to what was the beach, now a children’s play area:

The two houses on the plot are clearly seen, and there is a large square plot, containing them both, with a smaller square imprint, in the larger sqare, which could have been the house, now gone.
