No. 45 Dale Street is a merchants' warehouse, now used as clothing wholesalers' premises, dating from the mid to late 19th century. The building is constructed of red brick in Flemish bond, although the ground floor is now painted white, and features some sandstone dressings and a slate roof. It has a narrow rectangular plan situated on a corner site, with a basement and two plus two storeys. The front elevation facing Dale Street has three windows, while the side facing Tariff Street has ten windows.

The upper floors have 4-pane sashes with gauged brick heads. The ten-bay north side facing Tariff Street has matching window designs. The interior has not been inspected.
