Does not appear to meet notability criteria.
WP:GEOFEAT makes clear that buildings on national heritage registers can be presumed to be notable. There is not such presumption for those on a state list like this one. <Edit: this building is not on the state list, it was simply nominated 22 years ago> That means
WP:NBUILDING requires
WP:SIGCOV - here there is the application for state listing, plus two single line mentions in other local sources.

Keep - Satisfies the
WP:NBUILDING and
WP:GNG guidelines as a result of its historic, social, economic, or architectural importance using reliable secondary and primary sources.
The property is significant under the
California Register of Historical Resources registration criterion 4, in the history of the local area, as a commercial architecture development in downtown Carmel, mixing Monterey colonial style with Spanish Colonial Revival.
This building is also part of a block of commercial buildings on Dolores Street, between Ocean Avenue and 7th Avenue, that demonstrate Carmel's historic commercial development in the 1920s.
Clicking on this link for
Isabel Leidig Building, will bring up the historical study that was done for the building. Long and rather extensive.

Merge - I'm in agreement with the nom, and comments by GPL93, and Djflem above. This California
Spanish colonial revival style building is like thousands of others in the state; not all of them are Wiki-notable. Does not pass
WP:GEOFEAT, nor
WP:NBUILDING, and is not on the
NRHP. Seems it is on local registries that were nominated along with a group of many other buildings; we don't need articles on all of those 100+ buildings -
WP:NOTDIRECTORY and
WP:NOTTRAVELGUIDE. An appropriate target for a merger would be
List of Historic Buildings in Carmel-by-the-Sea.

Merge to
List of Historic Buildings in Carmel-by-the-Sea. This is one of over 100 buildings in the city's Downtown Conservation District that are collectively listed on the California Register of Historical Resources. Being just one building in a historic downtown or historic block does not show to me that it needs a standalone article. Being nominated – as part of a 100+ property district – to the National Register of Historic Places is entirely irrelevant when the district was not actually listed on the register. When the only substantial source is the survey of the district that presents all the buildings together, we should do the same when individual notability is not established.
