Sculptor, of Belfast, active in the 1870s. According to the Irish Builder, 'Mr Alex. Steven' carved the botanical motifs on WILLIAM BATT [2]' s Venetian Gothic gate lodge at the Botanic Gardens, Belfast, completed in 1879.(1) He is probably the same person as the 'Mr Stevens' who executed the carving - excluding the portrait medallions - on the façade of the Theatre Royal, Belfast (1871)(2) and on the Fitzroy Avenue Presbyterian church, Belfast (1874).(3)
