Madison County Courthouse (Arkansas)

The Madison County Courthouse, located in Huntsville, Arkansas, serves as the center of government for Madison County. The current courthouse, constructed in 1940, replaced an earlier structure that was destroyed by fire. It is a two-story building built in the Public Works Administration (PWA) Moderne style, characterized by its simple design, flat roof, and minimal ornamentation.

The courthouse houses various county offices, including the County Judge, County Clerk, Assessor, Collector, and Treasurer. Courtrooms are also located within the building where judicial proceedings for the county are held.

The building is a contributing property to the Huntsville Commercial Historic District, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. As such, its historical significance is recognized at both the local and national levels. The courthouse represents a period of governmental expansion and investment during the New Deal era, and it remains a focal point of civic life in Madison County. The architectural style reflects the aesthetics of the time and is representative of many public buildings constructed during the same period.
