The National Register's Registration Form (see below) provides a breakdown of the house's architectural style and notes it as a good example:
The Tudor Revival style was derived from English half-timbered buildings and represents a medieval form rather than historical precedent. It became popular after World War I and was applied to both large and modest houses the in the district constructed between 1922 and 1939. Tudor Revival style elements include stucco with false-half-timbering, Tudor arched and round arched openings, steeply-pitched gables, and crenellation. The earliest Tudor Revival residences are large scale and richly detailed, while those following are general interpretations of the style. Examples displaying high levels of integrity are found at 619 West Oak (Prop. 223), 812 West Oak (Prop. 235), 1015 West Oak (Prop. 249) and 1008 Egan (Prop. 99). Smaller versions of the style are found through the north half of the district, such as 1109 W.
Congress.
Other than noting its construction in 1936 by Walter and Barbara McClurkan, who owned a department store on the courthouse square, that's all the Registration Form says.
