The F. D. Thomas House is a historic house located at 321 North Ohio Street in Camp Point, Adams County, Illinois. The house was built in 1917 for F. D. Thomas, a successful local banker. Architect Ernest M. Wood, a prominent architect in the Quincy area, designed the Prairie School house.

The house's key Prairie School features include a stucco exterior with wooden trim, casement windows, a low hip roof, and an open interior layout.[2]
