Hey everyone! I'm working on a sketch of an old historical building

Hey everyone! I'm working on a sketch of an old historical building, but I'm really struggling to get the textures right. How do you guys effectively draw realistic moisture stains, cracked foundations, and weathered stone without making the whole piece look messy? I'd love to hear what shading techniques or pencil grades you usually recommend for capturing that aged, damp architectural look.
