The right half of your house looks just like the houses around here that were built inexpensively for returning WWII G.I.s... just a small basic box with no overhangs. My Mom called them "Young houses" as that was the last name of a local builder who put up scads of them quickly. And he was remembered by the ladies as he looked and talked like actor James Garner. My WWII veteran Dad built our house himself, but bigger and more elaborate yet still without overhangs as what seemed to be the style. Later he realized houses look better with overhangs. Then in the 1950's around here, some ranch houses got huge overhangs up to 4' out all around which also looked strange. The roof on the gabled end attached garage of a one story ranch house might end up only about 3' - 4' above the ground. Of course, this created a nuisance as it encouraged kids to jump up and play of the roofs. I couldn't find pictures of examples of such houses online but I know a neighborhood around here that has a lot of them. I did find a picture of a house with a shingled 'wrap around overhang' on the left that became popular about 30 years:
