The postcard lists this picture as the Caribou House. There were at least three buildings in Caribou\'s history that have carried that name. This picture appears to be facing up High Street in the 1890s. That would make this Caribou House, the house originally built by Luther Merrill in 1866. Merrill occupied the house until he sold it in 1874 to a Mr. Sleeper. Sleeper sold the house the same year to John Arnold, who lived there for many years. Arnold eventually moved to Minnesota and the house changed hands many times, eventually becoming a hotel of sorts. The landmark building burned down in 1918. The little knoll that was the site of the house was flattened by the town and it became the town square, located a little below the present police station.
