Hi, I'd like to know whether all those boarding-houses had the white fretwork balconies or just the rococo doll’s houses? I think the former.
"The village is hidden in the wood, away up to the left. It consists almost entirely of boarding-houses, in various styles of seaside architecture — sham Moorish, old Bavarian, Taj Mahal, and the rococo doll’s house, with white fretwork balconies." (On Ruegen Island, Christopher Isherwood)
 
All the boarding houses had the white fretwork balconies. The last comma makes it clear.
