MASCO CORPORATION
Masco Corporation manufactures and sells home improvement and building
products, with emphasis on brand name products holding leadership positions in
their markets. Masco's principal product and services groups are kitchen and
bath products (primarily faucets and cabinets, but including other products for
the kitchen and bath), architectural coatings, and builders' hardware and other
specialty products and services. Masco is among the largest manufacturers in
North America of brand name consumer products designed for the home improvement
and home building industries. Masco's operations consist of two business
segments, North America and International. Approximately 81% of Masco's sales
are from operations in North America (primarily in the United States).
International operations, currently in 13 countries (principally in Europe),
comprise the balance.
Masco's principal executive offices are located at:
21001 Van Born Road
Taylor, Michigan 48180
Telephone: 313-274-7400
SELLING STOCKHOLDER
The selling stockholder is Mark W. Dings. In connection with the
selling stockholder's acquisition of shares of Masco common stock offered by
this prospectus, the selling stockholder and Masco entered into an agreement
which includes various indemnity provisions relating to this registration and
offering.
The shares of Masco common stock offered by the selling stockholder are
all of the shares owned by him. The selling stockholder includes donees,
pledgees, transferees or other successors-in-interest selling shares received
after the date of this prospectus from the selling stockholder as a gift, pledge
or other non-sale related transfer. In addition, upon Masco being notified by
the selling stockholder that a donee, pledgee, transferee or other
successor-in-interest intends to sell more than 500 shares, a supplement to this
prospectus will be filed with the SEC.

<PAGE> 4
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The selling stockholder may sell some or all of his shares of Masco
common stock from time to time by the following methods:
- through brokers, dealers or other agents;
- directly to one or more purchasers, including pledgees;
- in transactions, including cross or block transactions, on the
exchanges on which the common stock is listed for trading;
- in privately negotiated transactions, including sales pursuant to
pledges;
- in the over-the-counter market;
- by selling exchange-traded call options;
- by buying exchange-traded put options; or
- in a combination of such transactions.
If the selling stockholder sells exchange-traded call options against
his shares of Masco common stock, this prospectus will be used in connection
with the sale of those call options. This prospectus will also be used if the
selling stockholder who has sold exchange-traded call options or has purchased
exchange-traded put options uses his shares of Masco common stock to settle the
call options or to exercise the put options.
In making sales, brokers, dealers or other agents engaged by the
selling stockholder may arrange for other brokers, dealers or agents to
participate in the resale. The selling stockholder may also loan or pledge his
shares of Masco common stock to a broker, dealer or other agent and such broker,
dealer or other agent may sell the shares so loaned, or upon a default the
broker, dealer or other agent may make sales of the pledged shares, in each case
pursuant to this prospectus.
Any of the transactions described above may be effected by the selling
stockholder at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related
to prevailing market prices, at negotiated prices or at fixed prices, which may
be changed.
Brokers, dealers or other agents participating in these transactions
may receive compensation in the form of commissions, discounts or concessions
from the selling stockholder in amounts to be negotiated in connection with such
transactions. The selling stockholder and any such brokers, dealers and any
other participating agents may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning
of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and any commission, discount or
concession received by them may be deemed to be an underwriting discount or
commission under the Securities Act. In addition, any securities covered by this
prospectus that qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 may be sold under Rule 144
rather than under this prospectus.

<PAGE> 5
Masco will pay the registration fee and its own costs and expenses for
registering the shares to be sold by the selling stockholder. The selling
stockholder will pay his own costs and expenses, including any commissions and
discounts payable to brokers, dealers or other agents for sales of his Masco
common stock. The selling stockholder may indemnify any brokers, dealers or
other agents that participate in his sale transactions against certain
liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act. Masco has
agreed to indemnify the selling stockholder, and the selling stockholder has
agreed to indemnify Masco, against certain liabilities, including liabilities
arising under the Securities Act.

ITEM 15. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware empowers Masco to
indemnify, subject to the standards therein prescribed, any person in connection
with any action, suit or proceeding brought or threatened by reason of the fact
that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of Masco or is
or was serving as such with respect to another corporation or other entity at
the request of Masco. Article Fifteenth of Masco's Restated Certificate of
Incorporation provides that each person who was or is made a party to (or is
threatened to be made a party to) or is otherwise involved in any action, suit
or proceeding by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director,
officer or employee of Masco shall be indemnified and held harmless by Masco to
the fullest extent authorized by the General Corporation Law of Delaware against
all expense, liability and loss (including without limitation attorneys' fees,
judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered
by such person in connection therewith. The rights conferred by Article
Fifteenth are contractual rights and include the right to be paid by Masco the
expenses incurred in defending such action, suit or proceeding in advance of the
final disposition thereof.
Article Fourteenth of Masco's Restated Certificate of Incorporation
provides that Masco's directors will not be personally liable to Masco or its
stockholders for monetary damages resulting from breaches of their fiduciary
duty as directors, except for liability (a) for any breach of the director's
duty of loyalty to Masco or its stockholders, (b) for acts or omissions not in
good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of
law, (c) under Section 174 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware, which
makes directors liable for unlawful dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or
redemptions, or (d) for transactions from which the director derived improper
personal benefit.
Masco's directors and officers are covered by insurance policies
indemnifying them against certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under
the federal securities laws (other than liability under Section 16(b) of the
1934 Act), which might be incurred by them in such capacities.

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS
1. Masco Corporation hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made,
a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of
the Securities Act of 1933;
II-2
<PAGE> 9
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising
after the effective date of the Registration Statement (or
the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which,
individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental
change in the information set forth in the Registration
Statement; and
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the
plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the
Registration Statement or any material change to such
information in the Registration Statement.
provided, however, that paragraphs (1)(i) and (1)(ii) do not apply if the
information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by these
paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with the SEC by Masco
Corporation pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be
a new Registration Statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective
amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
termination of the offering.
2. Masco Corporation hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of Masco
Corporation's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that is incorporated by reference in the
Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new Registration Statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
3. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
persons of Masco Corporation pursuant to the provisions referred to in Item 15
above, or otherwise (other than the insurance policies referred to in Item 15),
Masco Corporation has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and
Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed
in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by Masco
Corporation of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of Masco Corporation in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, Masco Corporation will, unless
in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in that Act and
will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
