Origin and history

The building located at 10 rue Monsieur-le-Prince, in the 6th arrondissement of Paris, is a historical monument whose protection concerns specifically the old apartment of Auguste Count, located on the first floor. This classification by decree of 12 December 1928 underscores the heritage importance of this place, associated with the life and work of the positivist philosopher. The building remains a private property today, with no clear indication of its accessibility to the public or its current vocation (visits, rentals, etc.).

The location of the building, although specified by an exact address and GPS coordinates, is assessed as "passable" (note of 5/10) in the Merimée base, suggesting minor uncertainties regarding its exact geolocation. No further information is available on its architecture, detailed history or use before or after Auguste Count's passage. Sources are limited to Monumentum data and internal archives, without reference to recent studies or restorations.

The 1928 ranking targets only the first floor apartment, suggesting that the rest of the building does not benefit from specific protection. This distinction reflects the historical interest in the memory of Auguste Count, a major figure in the 19th century French philosophy, whose Parisian place of life is a material testimony. No other milestone period or event is documented for this building in available sources.
