Item 5.    Other events and Regulation FD Disclosure

On July 30, 2004, Huttig Building Products, Inc. announced that it had entered into a definitive agreement to sell substantially all of the assets of its American Pine Products manufacturing business, located in Prineville, Oregon, to Woodgrain Millwork, Inc. for approximately $13.8 million, with proceeds to be used to pay down debt. The transaction is expected to close on August 2, 2004. Huttig and Woodgrain will also enter into a supply agreement under which Huttig will purchase mouldings, doors, windows, door frames and other millwork products from Woodgrain for a period of five years. Huttig also reported that petroleum hydrocarbons and pentachlorophenol were discovered in soil and groundwater at the Prineville facility, that it is conducting a preliminary assessment of the scope of contamination and potential required remediation, and that it has agreed to lease the facility to Woodgrain until the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality decides that no further action will be required, at which time Woodgrain has agreed it would purchase the facility.
