There are several companies that make historical buildings in 15mm.

There are a number of companies making 15mm cardstock buildings,
including
damaged buildings. If you play around with cardstock buildings, you can
also
take larger scales and shrink them during the printing process.

If you want to go the scratch built route, N scale is a little on the
small
size, but N scale tend to look about right (maybe slightly big) for the
ground scale, depending on the rules, of course. I actually liked the
effect, but some people might be put off.

The biggest issue with 15mm is a dearth of science fiction buildings.
