This page [1] (the Senate page for Monroe's inauguration) has an interesting bit about Madison. We should verify if it is really referring to Madison or Monroe.

The original plan for Madison's second Inauguration called for a ceremony in the House chamber of the temporary Capitol, but when a small feud ensued between the Senate and the House of Representatives (over what chairs would be used in the House chamber), the venue changed to an outdoor platform in front of the building. This was the first outdoor Inauguration in Washington, D.C., and Madison was the first President to deliver his Inaugural address to the public
