Perry Dean Rogers is an American architectural firm based in Boston, Massachusetts. The firm was founded as Shaw and Hepburn by Thomas Mott Shaw and Andrew Hopewell Hepburn in 1919, and became Perry, Shaw & Hepburn with the addition of William G. Perry in 1921. The firm became known for its designs for many universities and colleges, but is best known for restoring Colonial Williamsburg.

History

The firm originated in 1919 as Shaw and Hepburn, with founders Thomas Mott Shaw and Andrew Hopewell Hepburn. In 1921, William Graves Perry joined the firm, creating Perry, Shaw & Hepburn.

The firm became notable for its designs for educational institutions. It was responsible for the restoration of Colonial Williamsburg. It designed the Radcliffe College yard and its Longfellow Hall, which was a recipient of the Harleston Parker Medal in 1934.

Perry Dean Rogers recently completed designing an entire college campus, masterplan and the individual buildings for the Franklin W. Olin College of Engineering in Needham, Massachusetts. William G. Perry was also hired to transform the Endicott Estate into a Governor's Mansion.
