History of construction

From the mid-19th century, the area begins to be built up intensively. Here was built a two-story hotel (the first stone building in the city). In 1862 the building was opened the first bookstore in Samara (in the Soviet years the building was rebuilt and added to 5 floors).

In the 60-ies of the 19th century, the square was built a wooden chapel, the tower had reached about 17 meters. In the lower tier housed the gatehouse, and on the top – a 2-meter dial and a clock mechanism. The top of the tower-chapel was crowned by a huge bell. The wooden structure fell into disrepair, and in 1875 the bell was moved to Trinity Church, and the chapel was demolished.

Revolution Square Samara history

In 1887, the area was divided into square, which is adorned with flower beds. At this time, there are new buildings: the district court, hotels, apartment of the Governor, the office of a notary, some shops and a newspaper.

In 1889 here was installed the monument to Emperor Alexander, in the lower part of the figure which were emblems that portrayed important events during his reign: the abolition of serfdom, the conquest of the Caucasus, the liberation of the Slavic peoples (1878), the conquest of Central Asia. After the revolution the monument were removed from the square.

In 1918, here was a monument to the Freed people. It was a sculpture of a worker, who had a rifle and a torch, and feet – an anvil, a hammer and a sickle. The monument in the Revolution square in Samara stood up to 1927, and was replaced by the monument to V. I. Lenin (one of the first monuments to the leader in the country). But leader of the sculpture was out of proportion to the pedestal, which formed a visual impression that Lenin takes his place.

Buildings and facilities

One of the most unique and famous buildings in the square and in the city - the County courthouse. Originally it was a three-story building, which was the Kornilov hotel and restaurant. Here the regulars were members of the judiciary and wealthy citizens. In the revolutionary years, the building was nationalized and moved to be in need of housing workers and peasants, and later it was published by the organization for the protection of monuments of culture and history.

Samara Revolution Square

Directly to the building adjoined the two-storey structure with elements of classic decor, which housed the editorial office and printing house of the local newspaper “Samara news”.

Opposite was the least popular edition of the newspaper “Samara”. This building is adjacent to the tavern and warehouses. A little later, near the tavern housed the printing press.

Here was located the building that housed the office and the personal apartments of the Governor. In the provincial halls of residence are often arranged exhibitions of the Samara artists and artisans, as well as their fellow artists from other cities.

So from a dirty shopping Plaza, this place has turned into a Central city square, where was in full swing and continues to boil the cultural and social life.
