F.F. Tomek House, also known as The Ship House or as the Ferdinand Frederick and Emily Tomek House, is an example of Frank Lloyd Wright's prairie house. Designed in 1904 and construction finished in 1906, the Tomek House is a well-preserved example of this prairie house, located in the Riverside (Illinois) National Historic Landmark District. In addition to being a good example of the Prairie style, the Tomek house documents the development of the style, which reached its clearest expression in Wright's Robie House in 1908.

It is included in the Riverside Historic District and was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1999.citation|title=PDFlink| [http://pdfhost.focus.nps.gov/docs/NHLS/Text/99000632.pdf National Register of Historic Places Registration: F.F.
