One of three villas (see also 41, 43 Alma Crescent) designed by
William Leiper for John Jack, a local builder. Numbers 41 and 43 were built first with similar details composed differently. Number 45 is modelled on 41 but without the half-timber detail and the ashlar mullioned windows to the ground floor. The billiard room added in 1913 by Leiper's pupil, W Hunter McNab.
