If you rule out lenses with strong field curvature, and/or noticeable distortion (barrel/pincushion/moustache), there aren't really any "legacy" wide angle lenses that I could recommend, at least not at affordable prices.
The closest at reasonable cost is the Canon FD 35 TS, but at 35mm it's not really "wide angle" for architecture.
If you aren't too picky about mild distortion or vignetting, the Canon FD 20/2.8 is not too bad, but it's not great for buildings. I used it along with Canon's FD 20-35L and FD 35 TS as my support camera to my 4x5 for shooting architecture in the mid80s to mid-90s. But these were mostly secondary shots, or for clients that didn't have the budget for 4x5. (The FD 17/4 is not nearly as good as the FD 20/2.8)
You would probably want something between 17-24mm, and there was just not anything in that range in fully manual lenses at an affordable/reasonable price (which is what I assume you mean by "legacy" -- manual focus and manual diaphragm). If you have big bucks to spend, you might look for legacy lenses from some of the top brands like Leica, Zeiss, Schneider, Rodenstock.
I would advise at least coming into the electronic era with Canon's first EOS 24mm TS-E lens. Not too costly (around $600) and still takes pretty nice pictures (I didn't upgrade until years after the v. II came out, still taking great architectural shots).
The Nikon 28mm PC is not a good choice as it has pincushion distortion and strongly curved field (as do most Nikon retro-focus designs).
Olympus was one of the last great manual attempts with their tilt/shift 24mm, which was ground-breakingly wide at the time of release in early 90s.
The original Canon 24 TSE surpasses both these lenses in mechanical design and image quality.
Samyang introduced a cheap 24 TS lens a couple years ago, but it is poorly made and has mediocre optics. Still, they can sometimes be found for nearly $400. This lens is all manual, with no electronic linkage or exif data. I'd say this is a decent second choice to the original Canon.
I won't even suggest the Canon 24 TSE II or 17 TSE -- probably far too expensive for what you are looking for!
I know you might be wanting a normal wide angle prime lens, but it's very hard to find one that's not designed for architectural use that has a flat field and low distortion. It's a common problem with wide angle designs, legacy or modern.
Good luck on your hunt!
Perhaps you could clarify your needs and budget more clearly?
