Default Old Landscape Look

Hi all! I took this photo of the Oakland neighborhood in Pittsburgh and whenever I look at it, I just feel like it would look great if I could add an old-style look to it. I was wondering if anyone could give me some advice on how I could go about giving it a vintage/old-style feel to look like it was taken back in the 1800s. Thanks!!

Use a texture overlayed as a layer. In this shot I used a stock photo of an old piece of paper. Play with the blending mode and opacity until it looks good.
