El Paseo Building, Spanish Colonial Revival building in Carmel-by-the-Sea, United States.

El Paseo features a central courtyard with imported Spanish ceramic tiles, carved wood details, and ornate wrought iron railings throughout the structure.

Architects Blaine and Olson constructed this building in 1928 for L.C. Merrill, incorporating elements from both New California and Old Spanish architectural styles.

The courtyard displays a terra cotta sculpture called 'The Greeting' by Jo Mora, depicting two figures from early Spanish California in a formal exchange.

The building connects Dolores Street to Seventh Avenue through a narrow passage, housing restaurants including Little Napoli and Vino Napoli within its walls.

Spanish-sourced patterned tile risers decorate the stairway, while red paving tiles contrast against white walls in the building's intricate passageways.
