Marignac Home, where he moved in 1878, and where he performed his research in

"2" = home of Marignac before 1878, Rue des Granges, 4 - N46 12.10
E06 08.69
"3" = École de chimie, built in 1878, about which confusion
sometimes occurs regarding Marignac, who never was employed there nor did any
research there, because he retired to his home that same year where he did all
his research on gadolinium and ytterbium. The École de chimie is now
called Bâtiment des Philosophes, where the Departments of English and
of Historical Art and Music reside.
