Our History
Madison Fireplace & Patio initially began as Madison Fireplace & Door Company in 1987, by founders Thomas and Mary Stallings.
The business was originally located in old downtown Madison across from the Illinois Central railroad tracks. Mr. Stallings used his background knowledge in garage door hanging to help ease the transition into a completely new industry. After a couple of years, the company made the switch from selling doors to selling furniture and fireplace products, and the company adopted its current name.
Due to growth, Madison Fireplace & Patio moved to its current location on Highland Colony Parkway in 1997, operating out of a three buildings. From his fondness of hunting and fishing, Mr. Stallings created Madison Sports Outdoors which occupied one of the three buildings for a time. After a couple of years, Madison Sports Outdoors transitioned into the furniture showroom for Madison Fireplace & Patio.
