Courthouse Details: Madison County's present courthouse -- the fourth in the county's history -- was constructed in 1996-97. It replaced the old courthouse, which still stands on the downtown courthouse square. The previous structure, built in 1901, replaced a frame courthouse, which in turn replaced an earlier wooden courthouse--all three built on the same site. Eventually, the old courthouse proved too small for county government needs, forcing the county to rent office space in downtown Danielsville. In the mid-1990s, the county commission decided to use the former Danielsville Elementary School two blocks away as the core of a new and much larger county courthouse/government complex. The old school underwent a substantial renovation in 1996, with the actual courtroom and judicial offices part of a new addition to the old school in 1997-- all within a newly designed exterior. The result was essentially a new courthouse, although its official title is "Madison County Government Complex." - External Identifiers:
