STEVENSON, SAMUEL
- Born: 1859 Died: 1924
Architect, of Belfast. Samuel Stevenson, son of Samuel Stevenson, of Belfast, was born in Belfast on 27 November 1859. After attending the Royal Academical Institution, he became a pupil in the office of YOUNG & amp; MACKENZIE. (1) He set up in independent practice at 41 Royal Avenue in 1886, when he designed a new Presbyterian church at Lylehill, Co. Antrim. He designed a few other Presbyterian churches and some houses, but his work was chiefly industrial and commercial. His appointment as architect for the Municipal Technical Institute in 1900 appears to have been controversial; a writer in the Irish Builder noted that it had caused 'grave dissatisfaction among the profession'.'(2)
Stevenson died at home in Jordanstown, Co. Antrim, on 23 February 1924.(3) He was married to Mary, daughter of John Hamilton of Belfast, who survived him, and was the father of JOHN HAMILTON STEVENSON and WILLIAM JAMES HAMILTON STEVENSON , who joined the practice after serving in the First World War and carried it on after their father's death as SAMUEL STEVENSON & amp; SONS.
Addresses: Work: 41, Royal Avenue, Belfast, 1886->=1888; 83 Royal Avenue, Belfast, >=1888, until death.
Home: Jordanstown, Co. Antrim, 1911; Clounana, Jordanstown, Co. Antrim at time of death.(4)
See WORKS. For the purposes of this database, all works given to Samuel Stevenson after the end of 1923 are filed under SAMUEL STEVENSON & amp; SONS.
