Mr. and Mrs. William S. Paley's new house set on a rocky point at Round Hill, Jamaica, has the instant look of the tropics. (William F. R. Ballard, the architect for all of Round Hill, designed it.) Set at the heart of the architectural plan is this big parasol-roofed patio, used as porch, living room, and dining room, with a view in the morning of the pool and the Caribbean; in the afternoon, of the shaded tropical garden at the back of the house. Photo by John Rawlings. Vogue, May 1, 1956.
