Madison Fireplace and Patio was established in 1986 by
Thomas and Mary
Stallings. It was originally located in old
downtown Madison
across from the Illinois Central rail road tracks.
The original name for
the business was Madison Fireplace
and Door Company.
Having come from a background in
garage door hanging,
Mr. Stallings decided to use his background
knowledge 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 the company adopted its
current name.

In
1997, Madison Fireplace and Patio moved to its current
location
on Highland Colony
Parkway for some much needed space due to
the expansion of the
business. The business now had three buildings
to operate out of.
However, Mr. Stallings created a new business
out of one of these
buildings; Madison Sports Outdoors. Madison
Sports Outdoors was created out of
Mr. Stallings fondness for hunting
and fishing. The business
specialized in hunting and fishing equipment
and carried sporting goods as
well. After a couple of years of lower
than expected sales,
Madison Sports Outdoors was turned into the
new furniture show room for Madison
Fireplace and Patio.
