Item 5.  Other Events

On August 30, 2000, Huttig Building  Products issued a press release  disclosing
certain information  regarding the termination of a distribution  agreement with
one of its vendors. That press release is included below.

Press Release

CHESTERFIELD, MO, August 30, 2000 --- Huttig Building Products, Inc. (NYSE: HBP)
announced  today that effective  October 27, 2000, it will no longer  distribute
Andersen  Windows.  Andersen  has  attributed  its  decision  to  terminate  the
decades-old  relationship to differences in the company's distribution strategy.
Huttig's  sales of the  Andersen  line for the first six months of 2000 were $38
million.  Andersen  products  are  distributed  through  twelve of  Huttig's  62
distribution  centers.  Although  Huttig has not completed its assessment of the
impact  of this  action  on its  business,  it is  likely to result in a special
charge in the current quarter.  The loss of the Andersen line is not expected to
have an  ongoing  material  adverse  effect  on  Huttig's  operating  income  or
financial condition.

Huttig has existing relationships with numerous national window suppliers,  many
of whom are already key suppliers to Huttig around the country.  These suppliers
are very excited and well positioned to expand their business with Huttig.

Huttig Building Products is a distributor of building materials used principally
in new residential  construction and in home improvement,  remodeling and repair
work. Its products are distributed  through 62  distribution  centers serving 45
states  and are  sold  primarily  to  building  material  dealers,  directly  to
professional  builders  and large  contractors,  and to home  centers,  national
buying groups and industrial and manufactured housing builders.

This press release may contain  forward  looking  information  as defined by the
Private  Securities  Litigation  Reform Act of 1995. This  information  presents
management's  expectations,  beliefs,  plans  and  objectives  regarding  future
financial performance, and assumptions or judgments concerning such performance.
Any discussions contained in this press release,  except to the extent that they
contain historical facts, are forward-looking and accordingly involve estimates,
assumptions,  judgments  and  uncertainties.  There are a number of factors that
could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those addressed
in the forward-looking  information.  Such factors are detailed in the Company's
Annual  Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal  year ended  December  31, 1999 filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
