The central square of Ivanovo since 1918 is named after the Revolution Square. Once it was Georgievskaya, then Gorodskaya. There were the Church of the Nativity and Krestovozdvizhenskaya church on it, and the Prikazny bridge used to connect the two banks of a stream Kokuy. But later the landscape changed. There have been no churches on the square since 1932, as well as any stream and bridge, but central administrative buildings of the city appeared there - the mayor's office of Ivanovo and the building of the city administration.

It is curious that the name of the stream Kokuy was preserved on the city map: this is now the name of the boulevard running from the Revolution Square to the Pushkin Square. There is something to see on the Revolution Square, despite its official status. In 1975 a monument dedicated to the events of 1905 was erected here, and a monument to Yakov Garelin, a well-known philanthropist, manufacturer and governor of Ivanovo (1886 - 1877) stands opposite it, at the beginning of the boulevard. The Art Park was built three hundred meters far from the square, between the Krasnogvardeiskaya Street and 10 August Street, on the corner of which a small one-story house stands. This Shchudrovskaya Palatka (tent) - the oldest stone building of Ivanovo, has been preserved to this day. The name of the house was given by the name of one of its owners: in the 19th century the house belonged to the calico-printer Shchudrov, who set up his workshop there. And before that, there was an orderly hut where the notebooks were kept - the most important documents, in which gravel work and chevages taken from peasants were recorded. The exterior design of the building is kerbside, the window frames - give out its ancient age, and experts say that this building is unique and has no analogues. In the Art Park itself one can see two more monuments. This is a copper badger-dog, the nose of which should be rubbed "for luck," and a monument to а bard Arkady Severny, who was born in Ivanovo.
