The Madison County Courthouse is a courthouse in Huntsville, Arkansas, the county seat of Madison County, built in 1939 by the Federal Emergency Administration of Public Works (FEA). It is a three-story masonry structure, its exterior finished in glazed brick with limestone trim. It has restrained Art Deco styling, including pilasters between its central window bays, and blocky limestone archways framing its entrances. It was built in 1939 with funding from the Federal Emergency Administration, and is the city's finest example of Art Deco architecture.[2] Located within the Huntsville Commercial Historic District, the courthouse is a culturally significant landmark for both its architectural style and historical importance because of its association with the FEA. It was because of this dual significance that the property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993.[1]
