Item 4.01 Change in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant

(a) By letter dated May 31, 2007, KPMG LLP (“KPMG”) was dismissed as the independent public accounting firm for the Huttig Building Products, Inc. Savings and Profit Sharing Plan, a qualified 401(k) plan (the “Plan”). KPMG continues to serve as the independent public accounting firm for Huttig Building Products, Inc. (the “Company”), the sponsor of the Plan. The decision to dismiss KPMG as the independent public accounting firm for the Plan was approved by management of the Company, the administrator of the Plan.

KPMG’s audit reports on the Plan’s financial statements as of and for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.

During the Plan’s fiscal years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 and the subsequent period through May 31, 2007, there were no disagreements between the Plan or the Company as its sponsor and KPMG on any matters of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosures or auditing scope or procedures, which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of KPMG, would have caused KPMG to make reference in connection with their opinions to the subject matter of the disagreement, and there were no “reportable events” as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K between the Plan and KPMG.

KPMG was provided a copy of the foregoing disclosures and was requested to provide a letter from KPMG to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not KPMG agrees with the above disclosures. A copy of the letter furnished pursuant to that request is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

(b) By agreement dated May 30, 2007, Brown Smith Wallace LLC (“Brown Smith”) was retained as the independent public accounting firm to audit the financial statements of the Plan as of and for the year ended December 31, 2006. The decision to retain Brown Smith was approved by management of the Company, the administrator of the Plan. During the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 and the subsequent period through May 31, 2007, neither the Plan, nor anyone acting on its behalf, consulted Brown Smith regarding the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Plan’s financial statements.
