Denise is an interior
designer who runs her
own design firm, Farrow
& Wren. You might expect that
a designer’s home would look
a certain way: Formal. Fancy.
Expensive. But the Dixon home
shouts none of these things.
Instead, it projects comfort, style,
and calm.
When the Dixons moved
here from their Dorchester
Road home in the Fernway
neighborhood in 2017, the
Aldersyde house, built in 1921,
was a bit tired. It was designed
by architect Harry Shupe, known
for his eclectic and appealing
mix of disparate architectural
styles. See “The Elusive
Architect” at www.shaker.life for
more on Shupe and the Shaker
houses he designed.
