The Pfeiffer House is a historic house on United States Route 167 in Pfeiffer, Arkansas. Located on the west side the highway, north of its junction with Pfeiffer Road, it is a single-story stone structure with an extreme vernacular interpretation of American Craftsman styling. It has a hip roof with long eaves, supported by a series of elongated knee braces, and its corners and windows are irregularly quoined with lighter-colored Batesville "marble" (actually limestone), which constitutes the building's principal building material. The house was built in 1924 by Joseph Pfeiffer, a stonecutter and owner of the Pfeiffer Quarry, which provided the stone for the Arkansas State Capitol and is credited for doing some of that building's elaborate stonework.[2]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.[1]
