  • John Leck Bruce (16 October 1850 – 29 November 1921) was a Scottish-born architect, sanitary engineer and teacher. He was born in Glasgow to Robert Bruce (clerk), and his wife Jane (née Leck). Bruce began practising professionally at 21 years old (1871/72), and in 1874/75 he took David Sturrock into partnership under "Bruce & Sturrock", as well as working as a consulting engineer for Glasgow Corporation. He was one of the architects contributing to the development of the Turkish baths at the Arlington Baths Club Glasgow and presented a paper to the Philosophical Society of Glasgow on the heating of Turkish baths in 1879.
