AwesomeBump
AwesomeBump is a free program written using Qt library designed to generate normal, height, specular or ambient occlusion textures from a single image. Since the image processing is done in 99% on GPU the program runs very fast and all the parameters can be changed in real time. AB was made to be a new alternative to known gimp plugin called Insane Bump. (by kmkolasinski)

How to get started on creating old houses from a reference?
- You can generate some texture maps digitally, there are both online and offline tools for that. The later group includes Materialize and AwesomeBump, among others. Have in mind that generating any of these texture maps with an automatic tool (from an albedo texture) will be less accurate than manually making it yourself, a more laborious process that involves taking pictures with different lighting setups or baking them from a higher poly mesh.

[2D] What do you use to create normal map ?
I also tried a learning-based project DeepNormals which shows very good results. However, it is an academic project and can only be used for non-commercial purposes.
What are some alternatives?
