You can find lots of interesting material for backdrop building flats and sidewalls of buildings by Googling "ghost signs," then using a photo editing program to size the photos.

Here are two of my favorites. The cigar ad ghost sign comes from the Internet. The abandoned Tiger Brewery is in nearby Princeton, WI.
I photographed the building and roughed out the kit. John Kosma tweaked it some and it's a free download at Clever Models.
