Looking for architectural textures

Anyone know of some free architectural textures? Brick works, stone masonry, etc.

I tried drawing my own up, but they are pretty wonky.

My dad is in poor health and back into model railroading, so I designed a bunch of HO and N scale versions of buildings in our hometown.

I'll be darned if I can find any red brick or field stone textures that scale properly.

You can try some brick generators.
For example this one: Paperbrick - Print randomly generated brick papers for use in your scale models.

Here are some sites I use - the textures are for the most free, and some are also seamless if you are using a photo editor.

If you are using some form of photo editor (and if it has perspective correction even better), then why not just go out and take pics and make your own brickwork!

In no particular order here are a few download sites.....

All of these offer architectural textures in letter or A3 sheets good for N, HO, OO, and O scales, photo-realistic, downloadable, and inexpensive:
Clever Models Paper Models for the 21st Century - Textures
https://scalescenes.com/scratchbuilders-yard/
Texture Sheets
https://www.modelrailwayscenery.com/

They aren't free but they are inexpensive and you won't have to paste images together to get a wall's worth of texture.

Many thanks all! This was a great help. My search terms were probably not the best ones!

I'll share the builds in a while. My Dad is insistent on building Erie, PA circa 1960 for his latest layout. My grandfather worked on the construction of some of the iconic buildings as a brick layer.
