Encountering the Tudorbethan works of Wilson Eyre during a year-long study in Philadelphia, Maclure's incorporation of Eyre's half timbering and freely assembled stone technique projects itself unavoidably at Aberthau.
 Nonetheless, the architect managed to erect Aberthau with a healthy balance of his own distinctive innovations and traits of the Tudor Revival Style.
 The enormous masonry base is balanced by the vertical arrangement of the wood panels, and the stone chimneys, characteristic of the Tudor Revival style, anchor the almost Oriental nature of the eaves.

The colour scheme, white, light green, and dark green, also follows Mock Tudor guidelines.
The green hues, which are employed on the trim and border details, contrast sharply to the white tones and the gray stone.

The Tudorbethan influences are further punctuated by several over physical features, which are visible on the exterior of the building.
 These include:
A hipped roof
The massive masonry base, laid in an ornate pattern, for the lower exterior wall
Stucco on the upper stories, decorated with false half-timbered
Gables and dormers that protrude from the roof
An elaborate stone chimney
Casement windows (those that open vertically) framed in wood, which are grouped in rows of two or more
Stained glass windows that decorate the entrance doorway
