Frame Building News: Building of Distinction

Written by Anna Maxwell | March 17, 2025
 
Milmar Buildings was Selected for Buildings of Distinction, an honor conferred by Frame Building News Magazine. 
 
Project Location: LaPorte, IN – Milmar Building’s building project was selected as one of the best projects received from across the nation and will be published as a Building of Distinction. This recognition is bestowed upon projects in the post-frame industry built with a high level of craftsmanship and quality components, and it takes a strong candidate to make the cut. 
 
Induction into Frame Building’s News’ Buildings of Distinction is an important tribute to Milmar Building’s component quality and integrity. The magazine is nationally distributed, and it is the longest-running magazine dedicated to the post-frame industry with more than 35 years of history. 
 
The project and more pictures of it can be seen in the April Buildings of Distinction edition of the magazine, to be released March 24. It can also be viewed online at framebuildingnews.com/a-building-of-distinction-office-expansion/.
