Tourist Guides to Cities in Europe and elsewhere Google books have many Baedeker’s “Country” or “City and its Environs”, Murray’s “A Handbook for Travellers in”, Bradshaw’s Illustrated Handbook to London and its Environs, Crutchley’s New Guide to London.

If you want to see blueprints of old buildings, especially a lot of old churches, Academy Architecture and Architectural Review at the Internet Archive. If you want country houses and manors, Hobbs Architecture and Palliser’s American Architecture are a better bet.
