Amendment No. 1 dated August 28, 1998 and Amendment No. 2 dated September 4,
1998 (the "Schedule 13D") filed by Public Storage, Inc. ("PSI") and B. Wayne
Hughes, relating to the Common Shares of Beneficial Interest, $0.01 par value
(the "Shares"), of Storage Trust Realty, a Maryland real estate investment trust
(the "Issuer"), is amended by this Amendment No. 3 (the "Amendment") as set
forth below. Defined terms that are not defined herein have the meanings
assigned to those terms in the Schedule 13D.

Item 2. Identity and Background

        Item 2 of the Schedule 13D is supplemented as follows:

        This Amendment is being filed by PSI, PS Orangeco, Inc. ("Orangeco")
and B. Wayne Hughes (collectively, the "Reporting Persons").

        Orangeco is a corporation organized under the laws of California. The
voting common stock of Orangeco (representing approximately 5% of the equity) is
owned one-third each by B. Wayne Hughes, Tamara Hughes Gustavson (formerly
Tamara L. Hughes) and B. Wayne Hughes, Jr., and the non-voting preferred stock
of Orangeco (representing approximately 95% of the equity) is owned by PSI.
Orangeco's principal business is to sell to the general public, including
mini-warehouse tenants, a variety of items such as locks and boxes to assist in
the moving and storage of goods. The principal executive offices of Orangeco are
located at 701 Western Avenue, Glendale, California 91201-2397.

        The directors and officers of Orangeco are listed below. Each person's
address is the same as the address of Orangeco listed above.

     Name                     Position with Orangeco
     ----                     ----------------------

B. Wayne Hughes          President, Chief Executive Officer and Director

John Reyes               Vice President and Chief Financial Officer

Obren B. Gerich          Vice President and Director

Alan Grossman            Vice President

Harvey Lenkin            Vice President and Director

Marvin M. Lotz           Vice President

Carl B. Phelps           Vice President

A. Timothy Scott         Vice President

David Goldberg           Vice President

Sarah Hass               Secretary

        All of the foregoing persons are citizens of the United States.

        Because of the relationship between the Reporting Persons, the Reporting
Persons may be deemed a "group" within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

        During the last five years, neither the Reporting Persons nor, to the
best knowledge of the Reporting Persons, any executive officer, director or
person controlling any Reporting Person, has been convicted in a criminal
proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or has been a
party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent
jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment,
decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or
mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any
violation with respect to such laws.

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Compensation

        Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is supplemented as follows:

        On November 11, 1998, PSI transferred to Orangeco 964,000 Shares for an
aggregate price equal to PSI's cost for such Shares of $22,820,248. The purchase
price was paid by Orangeco's delivering to PSI a purchase money note which is
payable on demand and bears interest at 5% per annum.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

        Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is supplemented as follows:

        On November 12, 1998, PSI and the Issuer entered into an Agreement and
Plan of Merger among the Issuer, PSI and Newco Merger Subsidiary, Inc., a
subsidiary of PSI ("PSI Sub"), dated as of November 12, 1998 (the "Merger
Agreement"). Under the Merger Agreement, PSI Sub would be merged into the
Issuer, and each Share of the Issuer would be exchanged for 0.86 shares of PSI's
common stock. This exchange ratio implies an enterprise value for the Issuer
of approximately $600 million, including the assumption of approximately $192
million of indebtedness. Upon the effectiveness of the merger, PSI's board of
directors would be expanded by one seat and Mr. Daniel C. Staton, the Issuer's
Chairman of the Board, would be elected as a new member of PSI's board of
directors. The merger has been structured as a tax free transaction. The
transaction is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 1999. The
transaction is subject to the approval of the shareholders of the Issuer and
customary regulatory approvals and other conditions. For further information
regarding the merger, see the Merger Agreement which is referenced as Exhibit 2
hereto and is incorporated herein by this reference and PSI's and the Issuer's
joint press release dated November 12, 1998 which is referenced as Exhibit 3
hereto and is incorporated herein by this reference.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

        Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is supplemented as follows:

        (a) As of the date of this Amendment, (i) PSI did not beneficially own
any Shares, (ii) Orangeco beneficially owned 964,000 Shares, which constitute
approximately 5.996% of the total number of Shares outstanding and (iii) B.
Wayne Hughes did not beneficially own any Shares, exclusive of the Shares held
of record by Orangeco.

        (b) Orangeco and B. Wayne Hughes have shared power to vote and shared
power to dispose of all of the 964,000 Shares owned by Orangeco.

        (c) On November 11, 1998, PSI transferred to Orangeco 964,000 Shares for
an aggregate price of $22,820,248.

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships
        With Respect to Securities of the Issuer

        Item 6 of the Schedule 13D is supplemented as follows:

        Except as disclosed herein, to the best knowledge of the Reporting
Persons, there are at present no contracts, arrangements, understandings or
relationships (legal or otherwise) between the Reporting Persons or between the
Reporting Persons and any other person with respect to any securities of Issuer,
including but not limited to, transfer or voting of any of the securities of
Issuer, finder's fees, partnerships, joint ventures, other entities, loan or
option arrangements, puts or calls, guarantees of profits, division of profits
or loss or the giving or withholding of proxies, or a pledge or contingency the
occurrence of which would give another person voting power over securities of
Issuer.
