The house was owned in the 1890s by the publisher William Nelson; it is near the site of the Parkside works of which he was proprietor. The Blacket development was executed from 1825 onwards by eminent Edinburgh surgeons Benjamin and George Bell according to plans by James Gillespie Graham. Blacket Avenue was primarily to serve as access to Newington House, the mansion Benjamin Bell built for himself, which was demolished in 1966: No 15 is one of very few houses built on the Avenue as a result.
