They have always been an obstruction. I believe they have always been required even if not specifically mentioned. Not unlike putting an office in a warehouse. Not unlike over head doors.

NFPA 13 requires that sprinklers be installed throughout the premises in accordance with Section 4-1.1. Does anyone know when this became an NFPA requirement? I have heard the mid 80s mentioned. We have a building owner in a tussle with the AHJ.
