Number one: historic buildings are sprinklered every day, actually if the
dog house is historic, many would argue that sprinklering is more necessary
to help protect the irreplacable historic fabric of the dog house. Given the
conditions of the doghouse, a pre-action dry-pipe system should be installed
to both keep the sprinkler pipes from freezing (if fido lives in the
northern part of the country) and to prevent water damage when fido chews
through the pipe because he is frustrated with liveing outside while his
owner is warm and cozy inside his house.

DD,

Depends on if the dog house is historic, or not. You may need to get a
variance. What method of framing was used? Slate, tin, or tar paper roofing?
Is there any problem if you do install a sprinkler it will raise the taxes?
