Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but as I understand it, the pilot house
is a wheel house that is raised. A wheel house is a steering station with
hard sides and roof. Neither is outfitted with a salon, keeping in mind
that a salon typically means settee and/or table, galley, and the like, and
it's sometimes separated from the pilot house, and as mentioned, sometimes
on a separate level (even if only different by 6").
No clue on dog house, but my wife says I live there. And I have no clue on
what a deck saloon is ...is that just a cooler of beer?

A saloon is a place where you go to drink (the "living room"
on a boat).
A salon is where women go to get their hair done.
And the terms pilot house/wheelhouse/deck saloon are all
pretty much interchangeable.

hair done?

I can't find it now, but I think I've seen a dog house described as a
shelter over a small cockpit that did not have a hatch accessing below.

Never tried it. Sounds like it could be painful!

You might be right. However, I am building a pilothouse sloop and it's
not raised. I would not call it a wheel house, but I think of wheel
houses as being raised as well. I think of wheel houses as somthing on
a larger commercial boat whereas a pilothouse might be on a smaller
workboat or a recreational craft. That is certainly not a qualified
definition, however.
