Benjamin Horr House, also known as the Standard Printing Company, is a historic home located at Hannibal, Marion County, Missouri. It was built about 1855, and is a two-story, vernacular Greek Revival style brick structure. It has a front gable roof with cornice. It is the earliest surviving building to have been used for education in Hannibal, having once housed a private school run by the family of one of Mark Twain's former schoolteachers.[2]: 40–41 

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.[1]
