The type houses with balconies you show abound here in Quebec and that style of balcony was very popular up until the end of the nineteenth century. In small towns, you can still see houses that are very close to the roadway, and the older streets in my neighborhood display that kind of architecture, such as this one, St-Pierre street, Chambly:

that streetview of Chambly could be Ste. Genevieve if I squinted out the stop sign.
cool, yeah, variants of these kinds of houses and cabins (in various states of repair) still abound throughout the countryside around all the other old canadien-settled communities south of st. louis. most of course are in private hands.
