To the Limited Partners of
WINTHROP PARTNERS 80 LIMITED PARTNERSHIP:

Enclosed is your distribution check for the quarter ended December 31, 1995 (the
"Fourth Quarter").  This Report describes the activities of WINTHROP PARTNERS 80
LIMITED PARTNERSHIP,  summarizes the results achieved by the Partnership through
1995 and contains its audited  financial  statements for the year ended December
31, 1995.

The Partnership has to date sold eight properties or 41% of its original assets,
based on acquisition  cost. The  Partnership  continues to own ten properties of
which nine are leased to various  tenants and one is vacant.  All lease payments
due to the Partnership through year-end 1995 were current.

Cash  distributions  derived  from rental  income in 1995  resulted in an annual
return on your remaining  investment of approximately 9.4%. This return compares
favorably to yields available from other similar investment  opportunities.  The
cash distributions  provided by the Partnership since its inception in July 1980
through 1995 are  summarized on Page 3 of this Report.  The  Partnership's  cash
reserves are approximately $850,000 as of December 31, 1995.

Cash Distribution/State Withholding Tax Requirements

The  Partnership's  net cash flow  generated in the Fourth Quarter was $7.33 per
unit.  However,  the  actual  amount  distributed  will be  $7.30  per  unit for
individuals  who are not  Nebraska  residents  as a  result  of the  withholding
requirements  of  Nebraska.  To ensure the  collection  of state  income  taxes,
several states now require that partnerships,  rather than the limited partners,
pay  withholding  tax on a  partnership's  share of income and/or  distributions
earned in those states.  Winthrop  Partners 80 must pay withholding tax for 1995
to Nebraska  because the Partnership  owns  properties that generated  income in
that state.  Previous  quarterly  distributions  have been  reduced by the state
withholding  requirements of Nebraska.  Cash  distributions  will continue to be
reduced by such withholding requirements. Please consult your tax advisor or the
Department of Taxation in Nebraska regarding any filings a limited partner needs
to make, and the possibility of obtaining a tax refund.

For  limited  partners  who  elected the  monthly  method of  distribution,  the
enclosed check is one-third of the quarterly distribution. Your second and third
monthly  installments  will be  mailed  to you in 30 and 60 days,  respectively.
Please note that your share of the  Partnership's  cash distribution for 1995 is
not  taxable in and of itself.  The  amount of  passive  income and other  items
necessary to complete your 1995 income tax returns are reported on your Schedule
K-1 which will be distributed to you by the end of February.

Status of the Partnership's Remaining Properties

The table on Page 4 provides summary information concerning the properties still
owned by the  Partnership.  The leasing  status of each  property  is  described
below:

1.   Motorola,  Mt.  Pleasant,  IA.  Motorola  has  extended  its lease  through
     November 30, 1997.  Motorola is making  annual lease  payments of $111,600,
     which is an increase of $5,800 over the original lease.

 2.      Duckwall-Alco,  Nebraska  City,  NE. The lease  expires on December 22,
         2000 with an early termination option on January 31, 1998. A percentage
         of the gross store sales was paid to the Partnership as additional rent
         and  distributed  to  investors  in  the  First  Quarter  of  1993;  no
         percentage rents were paid in 1994 or 1995.

 3.      Dairy Mart, Ashtabula,  OH. The lease for this property expired on July
         1, 1995, and the porperty remains vacant.  The Partnership is currently
         marketing  this  property  for sale but has  received  no  offers.  The
         Partnership's  original  investment in this property  represented  less
         than 1% of the initial offering proceeds.

 4-6.    Dairy Mart, three locations in Ohio and Michigan. The original terms of
         the leases  for the Dairy  Mart  properties  have  expired.  Dairy Mart
         renewed  the  leases  at the  current  lease  rates.  The  terms of the
         renewals are: the Creston and Royal Oak locations through June 30, 1998
         and the Bolivar location through June 30, 1997.

 7,8.    Toys R Us, Beaumont, TX and Livingston,  NJ. These two leases expire on
         January 1, 2001.  Annual  sales  remain low at the  Beaumont  location;
         thus,  no  additional  rent  has  been  paid  to the  Partnership.  The
         Livingston  location has paid a percentage of gross sales as additional
         rent in each of the last five years.

 9.      Wal-Mart,  Bowling Green,  KY. This lease expires on December 23, 2000.
         The Partnership  modified the existing lease,  effective November 1994,
         by increasing  the annual base lease payment by $150,000,  reducing the
         percentage  rents by $150,000,  and  allowing  Wal-Mart to sublease the
         property to another retail operator.  The property is currently vacant,
         however the tenant continues to make rent payments per the terms of the
         lease.

 10.     Wal-Mart,  Victoria,  TX. This lease  expires on December  23,  2000. A
         percentage of the gross store sales has been paid to the Partnership in
         each of the last nine years as  additional  rent.  Due to strong  local
         retail market,  Wal-Mart constructed in 1994 a Wal-Mart Super Store and
         closed the store located in the Partnership's property. The Partnership
         continues to receive the base lease payments from Wal-Mart but will not
         receive percentage rent payments.

The Partnership's  future cash distributions will include ongoing  disbursements
from net cash flow and one-time  disbursements of sale proceeds.  Cash flow will
be affected  by,  among other  things,  the terms of any new leases,  any tenant
improvement  and leasing costs  associated  with  renewing  leases with existing
tenants or  signing  leases  with new  tenants,  the loss of rent and  increased
expense  during any period  when a property  is not under  lease and the loss of
rent after a property  is sold as well as  on-going  Partnership  administrative
expenses.

Distributions of sale proceeds will be made as a partial return of capital.  Per
the  Partnership  Agreement,  sale  proceeds  are  distributed  100% to  limited
partners  until they have  received  the $331.82  balance of their $500 per unit
original Capital  Contribution.  The general partners' 8% share of sale proceeds
would be paid subsequently.

The following tables outline the per unit cash distribution amounts for 1995 and
the cumulative results of the investment to date:

</TABLE>

  The  actual  amount  of the per unit  distributions  will  vary as a result of
  Nebraska and South Carolina state withholding requirements.

1  Represents  one  unit's  share  of  cash  flow  generated  from   Partnership
   operations.
2  Represents the annualized  pre-tax return on remaining capital of $331.82 per
   original  $500.00 unit. Due to the Tax Reform Act of 1986, the Partnership is
   unable to  provide  accurate  after-tax  returns  as a result  of  investors'
   varying Federal income tax situations. Please consult your personal financial
   advisor.
3  Represents  one unit's share of passive  income  generated  from  Partnership
   operations. Passive losses generated from other sources may be used to offset
   against this passive income, subject to limitations.
4  Rental  income  and  funds  held in  Partnership  reserves  are  invested  in
   short-term  money  market  instruments  prior  to  their  distribution.  This
   portfolio income represents the interest income earned on these investments.
5  Profit is defined  as the  portion of sale  proceeds  distributed  to limited
   partners  from the sale of a property  in excess of the  property's  original
   purchase price.

                   REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS



TO WINTHROP PARTNERS 80 LIMITED PARTNERSHIP:

  We have  audited  the  accompanying  balance  sheets of  Winthrop  Partners 80
Limited  Partnership (a  Massachusetts  limited  partnership) as of December 31,
1995 and 1994,  and the  related  statements  of income,  changes  in  partners'
capital and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended  December
31, 1995. These financial statements are the responsibility of Winthrop Partners
80 Limited Partnership's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion
on these financial statements based on our audits.

  We  conducted  our  audits in  accordance  with  generally  accepted  auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the  accounting  principles  used and  significant  estimates  made by
management,  as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

  In our opinion,  the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material  respects,  the financial  position of Winthrop Partners 80 Limited
Partnership  as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the results of its operations
and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended  December 31,
1995, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 1995


1.         ORGANIZATION

           Winthrop Partners 80 (the Partnership),  a limited  partnership,  was
           organized   under  the  Uniform   Limited   Partnership  Act  of  the
           Commonwealth of  Massachusetts on February 5, 1980 for the purpose of
           owning and leasing  commercial and industrial  real  properties.  The
           Partnership  will  terminate  on  December  31,  2008 or  sooner,  in
           accordance with the terms of the Partnership Agreement.


2.         SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

           Financial  Statements - The financial  statements of the  Partnership
           are prepared on the accrual basis of  accounting  in accordance  with
           generally accepted accounting principles.

           Use  of  Estimate  -  The  preparation  of  financial  statements  in
           conformity with generally  accepted  accounting  principles  requires
           management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
           amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets
           and  liabilities  at the  date of the  financial  statements  and the
           reported  amounts of  revenues  and  expenses  during  the  reporting
           period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

           Income Taxes - No provision has been made for federal, state or local
           income taxes in the financial statements of the Partnership. Partners
           are  required  to  report  on  their  individual  tax  returns  their
           allocable share of income,  gains, losses,  deductions and credits of
           the Partnership.  The Partnership prepares tax returns on the accrual
           basis. On May 16, 1980, the Internal  Revenue Service issued a ruling
           that the Partnership  will be classified as a partnership for federal
           income tax purposes.

           Distributions  to Partners - The cash  distribution  due Partners for
           the  three  months  ended  December  31,  1995  is  recorded  in  the
           accompanying  financial  statements as a liability and a reduction of
           Partners'  capital.   As  provided  in  the  Partnership   Agreement,
           quarterly  distributions are payable to Partners within 60 days after
           the end of the quarter.

           Percentage  Rent - The  Partnership  has entered into several  leases
           that provide for a minimum annual rent plus  additional rent based on
           percentages  of  sales at the  properties  (percentage  rent).  These
           percentage  rents are  recorded on a cash basis.  For the years ended
           December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, the Partnership received percentage
           rent  totaling   approximately   $161,418,   $456,230  and  $357,870,
           respectively.

           Leases - The Partnership  leases its real properties and accounts for
           such  leases  in  accordance  with the  provisions  of  Statement  of
           Financial  Accounting  Standards No. 13,  "Accounting for Leases," as
           amended.  This statement sets forth specific criteria for determining
           whether a lease  should be accounted  for as a financing  lease or an
           operating lease.


           (a)   Financing Method

                  Under this method,  minimum lease payments to be received plus
                  the  estimated  value of the  property at the end of the lease
                  are considered to be the Partnership's gross investment in the
                  lease.  Unearned income,  representing the difference  between
                  gross  investment and actual cost of the leased  property,  is
                  amortized over the lease term using the interest rate implicit
                  in the lease to provide a level rate of return  over the lease
                  term.

           (b)    Operating Method

                  Under this method,  revenue is recognized  as rental  payments
                  become  due,  which  does  not  materially   differ  from  the
                  straight-line  method.  Expenses (including  depreciation) are
                  charged to operations as incurred.


<PAGE>



2.         SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

           Cash and cash  equivalents - Cash and cash  equivalents  consist of a
           mutual fund that invests in treasury bills and repurchase  agreements
           that mature in three months or less.  Cash  equivalents are valued at
           cost, which approximates market value.

           Depreciation  -  Component  depreciation  on real  estate  leased  to
           others,  accounted for under the operating  method, is computed using
           the straight-line method over the useful life of each class of asset,
           which  ranges  from  5 to  35  years.  The  cost  of  the  properties
           represents the purchase price of the properties plus  acquisition and
           closing costs, or to the extent that the property had previously been
           accounted for under the financing method, the depreciable base is the
           fair market value at the date of  implementation  of operating  lease
           accounting.


3.         TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES

           One Winthrop  Properties,  Inc. (One Winthrop),  the Managing General
           Partner;  Winthrop  Securities Co., Inc. (Winthrop  Securities),  the
           selling agent for the Public Offering;  and Winthrop Management,  the
           manager of the  properties,  are wholly owned  subsidiaries  of First
           Winthrop  Corporation,  which in turn is  wholly  owned  by  Winthrop
           Financial Associates, a Limited Partnership (WFA).

           Winthrop  Management is entitled to annual property  management fees,
           equal to 1.5% of the excess of cash receipts  over cash  expenditures
           (excluding  debt  service,   property  management  fees  and  capital
           expenditures)  from each  property  it  manages.  For the years ended
           December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, Winthrop Management earned $24,310,
           $26,155 and $25,446,  respectively,  for managing the real properties
           of the Partnership.

           The  General  Partners  are  entitled  to 8% of  Cash  Available  for
           Distribution,   subordinated  to  a  cumulative,  priority  quarterly
           distribution to the Limited  Partners.  The General Partners are also
           entitled  to 8% of  Sale or  Refinancing  Proceeds,  subordinated  to
           certain  priority  distributions  to the Limited Partners as provided
           for in the  Partnership  Agreement.  For the years ended December 31,
           1995,   1994  and  1993,   the   Partnership   has  paid  or  accrued
           distributions from Cash Available for Distribution  totaling $97,851,
           $134,574 and $133,583,  respectively,  to the General  Partners.  The
           proceeds  from the  sales of  properties  in 1993  (see  Note 6) were
           distributed entirely to the Limited Partners.

           During the liquidation stage of the Partnership, the General Partners
           and  their   affiliates   are  entitled  to  receive   distributions,
           subordinated to specified minimum returns to the Limited Partners, as
           described in the Partnership Agreement.

6.         SALES OF PROPERTIES

           On  September  8,  1993,  the  Partnership  sold  the  Dairy  Mart in
           Berkeley,  Michigan, for $120,000 in cash, and on September 30, 1993,
           the  Partnership  sold the Greenville,  South Carolina,  property for
           $345,000 in cash. The sales provided $435,582 of net proceeds,  which
           were  distributed in the fourth quarter of 1993 and resulted in a net
           loss of $105,909.

7.         WRITE-DOWN OF PROPERTY

           In connection  with its evaluation of the  Ashtabula,  Ohio property,
           management of the  Partnership  wrote down the carrying  value of the
           property  by $73,000 to $0, at  December  31,  1995.  The  reserve is
           reflected  as  a  component  of  accumulated   depreciation   in  the
           accompanying balance sheets.

8.         TAXABLE INCOME

           The Partnership's taxable income for 1995 differs from net income for
           financial  reporting purposes primarily due to the differences in the
           methods used for the recognition of  depreciation  and the accounting
           for certain  real  property  leases  under the  financing  method for
           financial  reporting purposes and the operating method for tax return
           purposes. Taxable income for 1995 is as follows:

9.         SUBSEQUENT EVENT

           On January 18, 1996, the  Partnership  sold the property in St. Clair
           Shores,  Michigan for $140,000,  resulting in a gain of approximately
           $50,000 for financial  reporting  purposes.  The net proceeds will be
           distributed to the limited partners during 1996.
