Dog House Architecture

The history or evolution of the "dog house" is sketchy at best - and as it turns out, not a lot happened in the execution of new designs until the 20th Century.
In Ancient Egypt (about 4500 BC) dog houses were made of mud and bricks.
In the late 1700's, Marie Antoinette had her Papillon's doghouse in Versailles lined with turquoise silk ~ topped off with a removable domed lid.
In the 1800's elite kennels were constructed to house purebred dogs. And, pitched roof dog houses came into vogue.
Starting in the mid 20th Century, our imagination went wild and dog house designs became architecture.
Whether you call them pens, kennels, dog houses, or doghouses ~ these are sure to at least raise one of your eyebrows!
