                    PART I

Item 1.   Business

          a. General Development of Business

             Diversified   Historic   Investors
("Registrant") is a limited partnership  formed
in 1984 under Pennsylvania law.  As of December
31,  1999, Registrant had outstanding  11,609.6
units  of  limited  partnership  interest  (the
"Units").

            Registrant  is  presently  in   its
operating  stage.   It originally  owned  eight
properties  or interests therein.   Partial  or
complete interests in six properties have  been
lost   through  foreclosure.    See   Item   2.
Properties,  for  a  description  thereof.   It
currently owns two properties and a portion  of
its  original interest in one property.  For  a
discussion of the operations of the Registrant,
See  Part  II, Item 7. Management's  Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations.

            b.   Financial  Information   about
Industry Segments

              The  Registrant operates  in  one
industry segment.

          c. Narrative Description of Business

              Registrant is in the business  of
operating,  holding,  selling,  exchanging  and
otherwise  dealing in and with real  properties
containing  improvements which  are  "Certified
Historic  Structures," as such term is  defined
in  the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code"), for
use   as   apartments,  offices,   hotels   and
commercial spaces, or any combination  thereof,
or  low  income housing eligible  for  the  tax
credit provided by Section 42 of the Code,  and
such  other  uses  as the Registrant's  general
partner may deem appropriate.

              Since the Registrant's inception,
all  the  properties  acquired  either  by  the
Registrant,  or the subsidiary partnerships  in
which   it   has   an   interest,   have   been
rehabilitated   and   certified   as   historic
structures   and  have  received  the   related
investment  tax  credit.   Each  of  the  three
properties  currently owned by  the  Registrant
are  held for rental operations.  At this  time
it  is anticipated that all the properties will
continue to be held for this purpose.  At  such
time as real property values begin to increase,
the  Registrant will re-evaluate its investment
strategy regarding the properties.

               As   of   December   31,   1999,
Registrant  owned three properties  located  in
Pennsylvania.   In total, the three  properties
contain  41  apartment units and  6,188  square
feet   ("sf")  of  commercial  space.   As   of
December  31,  1999, 37 of the apartment  units
were   under  lease  at  monthly  rental  rates
ranging from $675 to $1,500.  In addition,  all
of  the  commercial space was  under  lease  at
annual  rates ranging from $7.07 to $13.50  per
sf.   Rental  of the apartments and  commercial
space  is  not  expected to be  seasonal.   For
further discussion of the properties, see  Item
2. Properties.

              The Registrant is affected by and
subject  to  the general competitive conditions
of  the  residential and commercial real estate
industries.  The properties currently owned  by
the Registrant are all located in the Olde City
Historic    District   (the   "District")    in
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in which  there  are
several    similar    historically    certified
rehabilitated buildings.  The Registrant's main
competitor in this market is Historic Landmarks
for   Living   which   owns   several   similar
residential  buildings in  the  District.   The
District  has recently re-emerged as a  popular
place  to live for young professionals and  has
created a large demand for the apartments units
owned by the Registrant.

               Registrant  has  no   employees.
Registrant's   activities   are   overseen   by
Brandywine  Construction  &  Management,  Inc.,
("BCMI"), a real estate management firm.

Sales.

              See  Item 8. Financial Statements
and Supplementary Data.

Item 2.   Properties

           As  of  the  date hereof, Registrant
owned  three properties, or interests  therein.
A  summary description of each property held at
December 31, 1999 is given below.

           a.  The  Smythe  Stores  Condominium
Complex  - consists of five adjoining buildings
located  at  101-111 Arch Street, in  the  Olde
City  Historic  District  (the  "District")  of
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.  In November, 1984,
the Registrant acquired 20 residential units of
the complex's 49 units as the 100% equity owner
of    these   units.    The   acquisition   and
rehabilitation  cost was $4,056,375  ($171  per
sf)  funded  by  an equity contribution  and  a
series   of  condominium  mortgages   with   an
original   combined   principal   balance    of
$2,440,000.  The combined principal balance  at
December 31, 1999 is $1,335,267.  Each mortgage
bears  interest  at  12%.   Scheduled  interest
payments  were made through April 1, 1988.   At
that  time, due to insufficient cash flow,  the
Registrant  ceased making payments.   In  1990,
the  lender was placed in receivership  by  the
Resolution Trust Corporation ("RTC").  The  two
entities which purchased the mortgages from the
RTC  each filed complaints for foreclosure  due
to nonpayment.  Foreclosure proceedings on nine
units  were filed in the Court of Common Pleas,
Philadelphia  County  in the  matter  of  Bruin
Holdings,   Inc.   ("Bruin")   v.   Diversified
Historic  Investors and foreclosure proceedings
on  eleven  units were filed in  the  Court  of
Common Pleas, Philadelphia County in the matter
of   EMC   Mortgage  Corporation   ("EMC")   v.
Diversified Historic Investors.  In March 1996,
the  Bruin  cases  were settled  and  the  nine
mortgages  were  sold. The  Registrant  entered
into  an agreement with the new holder  of  the
mortgages whereby monthly payments of  interest
are  to  be  made  in an amount  equal  to  net
operating income.  In December 1996, the eleven
units  associated  with  the  EMC  cases   were
foreclosed  by the lender.  During 1999,  three
units  were  sold at sales prices of  $555,880,
$369,637 and $376,404.

               The  remaining  six  units   are
managed by BCMI.  As of December 31, 1999, four
apartment  units  were  under  lease  (66%)  at
monthly  rental  rates  ranging  from  $865  to
$1,500.   All  leases  are renewable,  one-year
leases.   The  occupancy for the previous  four
years was 100% for 1998, 96% for 1997, 78%  for
1996  and  85%  for 1995.  The  monthly  rental
range  has  been approximately the  same  since
1995.   For tax purposes, this property  has  a
federal   tax  basis  of  $1,243,314   and   is
depreciated using the straight-line method with
a  useful life of 27.5 years.  The annual  real
estate  taxes are $7,173 which is based  on  an
assessed value of $138,432 taxed at a  rate  of
$8.264  per  $100.  It is the  opinion  of  the
management of the Registrant that the  property
is adequately covered by insurance.

           b.  The  Third Quarter Apartments  -
consists of 17 apartments and 1,000 square feet
of  commercial space located in the District at
47  North Third Street.  In November, 1984, the
Registrant  acquired the building  and  is  the
100%   equity  owner  of  the  property.    The
property  was  acquired and  rehabilitated  for
$1,725,000 ($102 per sf), funded by  an  equity
contribution and two mortgage loans of $860,000
and  $140,000.   On  June 1,  1993,  the  first
mortgage  was  modified.   The  terms  of   the
modification  included  the  addition  of   all
accrued  and  unpaid interest to the  principal
balance, changing the due date to October  1999
and  revising  the payment terms.   In  October
1998,  the  due  date was extended  to  October
2003.   The  new payment terms require  monthly
payments  of  interest equal to  net  operating
income,  with  a minimum of $6,833  per  month.
The  property  has been making payments  of  at
least the minimum amount of $6,833 per month in
order  to  keep  the loan current.   The  first
mortgage  has a principal balance  at  December
31,  1999  of $1,217,307 and bears interest  at
12%.   The second note has a principal  balance
of $138,444, bears interest at 15%, and was due
in  1992.   In  1991,  the  Registrant  stopped
making  scheduled mortgage payments.  No notice
of  default  has  yet been  received  from  the
lender.

              The  property is managed by BCMI.
As  of December 31, 1999, 16 of the units  were
under  lease  (94%)  at  monthly  rental  rates
ranging  from  $675 to $1,200 and  all  of  the
commercial space was under lease (100%)  at  an
annual  rental  rate  of $13.50  per  sf.   All
residential  leases  are  renewable,   one-year
leases.   The  occupancy for the previous  four
years  was 94% for 1998, 88% for 1997, 93%  for
1996  and  87%  for 1995.  The  monthly  rental
range  has  been approximately the  same  since
1995.   The occupancy for the commercial  space
has  been 100% for 1998, 58% for 1997 and  100%
for  1996 and 1995.  The annual rental rate was
$8.40  per sf for the previous four years.  The
commercial  lease at Third Quarter  expires  in
December of 2004 with a total annual rental  of
$13,500, which is 7% of the gross annual rental
from  the  property.   For tax  purposes,  this
property  has a federal tax basis of $1,821,589
and  is  depreciated  using  the  straight-line
method  with a useful life of 27.5 years.   The
annual  real estate taxes are $17,454 which  is
based on an assessed value of $211,200 taxed at
a  rate  of $8.264 per $100.  It is the opinion
of  the  management of the Registrant that  the
property is adequately covered by insurance.

           c.  Wistar  Alley - located  in  the
District  at  30-32  North  Third  Street,   in
Philadelphia,  Pennsylvania,  consists  of  two
adjoining    buildings   which    contain    18
residential  units and 5,188 sf  of  commercial
area.  The Registrant acquired the buildings in
December  1984 and is the 100% equity owner  of
the  property.  The property was  acquired  and
rehabilitated  for $2,230,000  ($101  per  sf),
funded  by  an  equity contribution  and  three
mortgage loans aggregating $1,400,000.  On June
1,  1993, the first mortgage was modified.  The
terms of the modification included the addition
of  all  accrued  and unpaid  interest  to  the
principal  balance, changing the  due  date  to
October 1998 and revising the payment terms. In
October  1998,  the due date  was  extended  to
October  2003.   The new payment terms  require
monthly  payments  of  interest  equal  to  net
operating income, with a minimum of $9,000  per
month.    The   property  has   not   generated
sufficient  cash  flow to satisfy  the  minimum
requirement;  however, the loan  has  not  been
declared in default.  The first mortgage has  a
principal  balance  at  December  31,  1999  of
$1,418,255  and bears interest at 2  1/2%  over
the Federal Home Bank Board Cost of Funds Index
with  a maximum of 14 1/2% and a minimum  of  8
1/2%.   The  rate  was 8 1/2% at  December  31,
1999.    The   second  and  third  notes   have
principal  balances  at December  31,  1999  of
$380,114, and $96,689.  The notes bear interest
at 11%, and prime plus 1 1/2%, therefore 10% at
December  31,  1999,  respectively,  and   both
principal  and interest are due at the  earlier
of the sale of the Property or the year 2009.

              The  property is managed by BCMI.
As  of December 31, 1999, 18 of the residential
units  were under lease (95%) at monthly  rents
ranging  from  $745 to $1,350 and  all  of  the
commercial  space  was under  lease  (100%)  at
annual  rental  rates  ranging  from  $7.07  to
$11.00  per  sf.   All residential  leases  are
renewable, one-year leases.  The occupancy  for
the  residential  units for the  previous  four
years  was 94% for 1998, 90% for 1997, 88%  for
1996  and  83%  for 1995.  The  monthly  rental
range  has  been approximately the  same  since
1995.   The occupancy for the commercial  space
for  the previous four years has been 100%  for
1998, 100% for 1997, 100% for 1996 and 38%  for
1995.  The average annual rental rate has  been
$6.64 to $10.45 per sf in 1998, $6.00 to $13.85
per sf in 1997, $5.14 to $13.85 per sf for 1996
and $13.85 per sf for 1995.

commercial  lease expirations at  Wistar  Alley
for the next five years.

           For tax purposes, this property  has
federal   tax  basis  of  $2,207,537   and   is
depreciated using the straight-line method with
a  useful life of 27.5 years.  The annual  real
estate taxes are $23,139 which is based  on  an
assessed value of $280,000 taxed at a  rate  of
$8.264  per  $100.  It is the  opinion  of  the
management of the Registrant that the  property
is adequately covered by insurance.

Item 3.   Legal Proceedings

            To   the  best  of  its  knowledge,
Registrant is not party to, nor is any  of  its
property  the  subject of any pending  material
legal proceedings.

Item  4.    Submission of Matters to a Vote  of
Security Holders

           No  matter was submitted during  the
fiscal  years covered by this report to a  vote
of security holders.

                    PART II

Item 5.   Market for Registrant's Common Equity
and Related Stockholder Matters

           a.  There  is no established  public
trading market for the Units.  Registrant  does
not  anticipate any such market  will  develop.
Trading  in  the  Units occurs  solely  through
private  transactions.  The Registrant  is  not
aware  of  the  prices at which  trades  occur.
Registrant's records indicate that 105 Units of
record were sold or exchanged in 1999.

           b.  As  of December 31, 1999,  there
were 1,235 record holders of Units.

           c.  Registrant did not  declare  any
cash dividends in 1999 or 1998.

Item  7.   Management's Discussion and Analysis
of Financial
          Condition and Results of Operations

          (1)  Liquidity

              At  December 31, 1999, Registrant
had   cash  of  approximately  $11,813.    Cash
generated from operations is used primarily  to
fund  operating expenses and debt service.   If
cash  flow  proves  to  be  insufficient,   the
Registrant will attempt to negotiate  with  the
various  lenders in order to remain current  on
all  obligations.  The Registrant is not  aware
of any additional sources of liquidity.

               As   of   December   31,   1999,
Registrant  had  restricted  cash  of   $74,163
consisting primarily of funds held as  security
deposits   and  escrows  for   taxes.    As   a
consequence of these restrictions  as  to  use,
Registrant does not deem these funds  to  be  a
source of liquidity.

             In recent years the Registrant has
realized  significant  losses,  including   the
foreclosure of five properties and a portion of
a   sixth  property,  due  to  the  properties'
inability to generate sufficient cash  flow  to
pay  their operating expenses and debt service.
The Registrant has first mortgages in place  on
each  of  its  remaining  properties  that  are
basically "cash-flow" mortgages, requiring  all
available   cash  after  payment  of  operating
expenses  to  be  paid to  the  first  mortgage
holder.  Therefore it is unlikely that any cash
will be available to the Registrant to pay  its
general  and  administrative expenses,  to  pay
debt   service  on  the  past-due   subordinate
mortgage  with respect to the Third Quarter  or
to  pay  any  debt service on the  two  accrual
mortgages with respect to Wistar Alley.

              It  is the Registrant's intention
to  continue to hold the properties until  they
can  no  longer meet debt service  requirements
(or  with  respect to Third Quarter and  Wistar
Alley, the lender seeks payment on the past due
mortgage) and the properties are foreclosed, or
the market value of the properties increases to
a point where they can be sold at a price which
is   sufficient   to   repay   the   underlying
indebtedness.

              Since  the  lenders  have  agreed
either  to forebear from taking any foreclosure
action as long as cash flow payments are  made,
to  accrue all debt service in lieu of payment,
or  have  (in  the case of Third  Quarter)  not
moved  to  declare a default for a  substantial
period of time after the mortgage due date, the
Registrant   believes  it  is  appropriate   to
continue presenting its financial statements on
a going concern basis.

          (2)  Capital Resources

              Any  capital expenditures  needed
are  generally replacement items and are funded
out  of  cash  from operations  or  replacement
reserves, if any.  The Registrant is not  aware
of  any  factors  which would cause  historical
capital   expenditures   levels   not   to   be
indicative  of  capital  requirements  in   the
future  and accordingly, does not believe  that
it  will  have to commit material resources  to
capital  investment for the foreseeable future.
If  the  need  for  capital  expenditures  does
arise,  the  first  mortgage holder  for  Third
Quarter,  Wistar  Alley and Smythe  Stores  has
agreed  to  fund  capital expenditures.   There
were  no funds advanced during 1999 for capital
expenditures.

          (3)  Results of Operations

             During 1999, Registrant recognized
income   of   $396,475  ($33.81   per   limited
partnership  unit) compared to a  net  loss  of
$736,581 ($62.81 per limited partnership  unit)
in  1998  compared  to a net loss  of  $810,675
($69.13 per limited partnership unit) in 1997.


               Rental  income  increased   from
$420,903  in  1997  to  $486,864  in  1998   to
$494,852  in 1999.  The increase from  1998  to
1999 is the result of an increase at both Third
Quarter  and  Wistar Alley and  a  decrease  at
Smythe   Stores  due  to  the  sale  of   three
condominium  units in 1999.  Rental  income  at
Third  Quarter increased due to an increase  in
the  average  occupancy (93%  to  96%)  and  an
increase  in the average rental rates.   Rental
income  at  Wistar Alley increased  due  to  an
increase  in  the  average rental  rates.   The
increase from 1997 to 1998 is the result of  an
increase  at  all three properties  due  to  an
increase  in  the  average  occupancy  and  the
average rental rates.

                Rental    operations   expenses
decreased from $289,820 in 1997 to $285,652  in
1998  to  $269,895 in 1999.  The decrease  from
1998  to  1999 is due to a decrease  in  rental
operations expense at Smythe Stores,  partially
offset  by  an  increase in  rental  operations
expense  at  Third Quarter and an  increase  in
maintenance  expense  at  Wistar  Alley.    The
decrease  at Smythe Stores is a result  of  the
sale  of three condominium units.  The increase
at  Third  Quarter is due to  the  increase  in
average    occupancy.    Maintenance    expense
increased at Wistar Alley due to an increase in
the  turnover of apartment units.  The decrease
from  1997  to  1998 is due to  a  decrease  in
maintenance  expense at Wistar Alley  partially
offset  by  an  increase  in  maintenance   and
commissions expense at both Smythe  Stores  and
Third  Quarter.  Maintenance expense at  Wistar
Alley  decreased  due  to deferred  maintenance
performed at the property in 1997.  Maintenance
and  commissions  expense increased  at  Smythe
Stores and Third Quarter due to an increase  in
the turnover of apartment units.

              Interest  expense decreased  from
$638,892  in  1997  to  $635,899  in  1998   to
$567,159  in  1999.  The decrease  in  interest
expense from 1998 to 1999 is due to the sale of
the condominium units at Smythe Stores in 1999.

              In  1999, income of $516,000  was
recognized at the Registrant's three properties
compared  to a loss of $616,000 in 1998  and  a
loss  of  $686,000 in 1997.   A  discussion  of
property operations/activities follows:

              In  1999,  Registrant  recognized
income  of $755,000 at the six units  owned  at
the Smythe Stores Condominium complex including
$75,000 of depreciation expense compared  to  a
loss   of   $354,000   including   $75,000   of
depreciation  expense in 1998  and  a  loss  of
$370,000   including  $75,000  of  depreciation
expense  in 1997.  Included in income for  1999
is  a  gain of $102,626 related to the sale  of
three  condominium units and  an  extraordinary
gain of $939,333 for the extinguishment of debt
related to those sales.  The extraordinary gain
represents  the excess of the debt extinguished
by  the  sales  of the three condominium  units
over  the  fair  market  value  of  the  units.
Overall,  exclusive of the gains, the  property
would  have  recognized a loss of $287,000  for
1999  compared to a loss of $354,000  in  1998.
The  decrease in the loss from 1998 to 1999  is
the  result  of  a  decrease in  rental  income
partially  offset  by  a  decrease  in   rental
operations   expense   including   maintenance,
management  fees, commissions  and  condominium
fees, and a decrease in interest expense.   The
decrease  in  rental income, rental  operations
and  interest expense is due to the sale of the
three  condominium units in 1999.  The decrease
in  the loss from 1997 to 1998 is the result of
an increase in rental income due to an increase
in  the  average rental rates, partially offset
by  an  increase in maintenance and  commission
expense.    Both  maintenance  and  commissions
expense  increased due to a higher turnover  of
apartment units.

               On  June  30,  1992  Diversified
Historic  Properties, Inc., co-partner  of  the
Registrant's  general partner, assigned  to  D,
LTD  (its  parent) a note receivable  from  the
Registrant  in  the  amount of  $127,418  which
bears interest at 10% with the entire principal
and accrued interest due on June 30, 1997.   On
October  8, 1993 D, LTD obtained a judgment  in
the  amount of $156,873 on this note in  Common
Pleas    Court    for   Philadelphia    County,
Pennsylvania.  The judgment accrues interest at
15%.   Interest accrued was $6,713 during  both
1998 and 1999.  Payments on the judgment are to
be  made from available cash flow from  any  of
the    three   properties   and   before    any
distribution  can  be made to the  Registrant's
limited  partners.  The balance of the note  at
December 31, 1999 was $78,831.

              In  1999,  Registrant incurred  a
loss   of   $144,000  at  the   Third   Quarter
Apartments  including $72,000  of  depreciation
and amortization expense compared to a loss  of
$164,000 including $72,000 of depreciation  and
amortization  expense in 1998  and  a  loss  of
$174,000 including $72,000 of depreciation  and
amortization expense in 1997.  The decrease  in
the loss from 1998 to 1999 is the result of  an
increase in rental income due to an increase in
the  average  occupancy (93%  to  96%)  and  an
increase  in the average rental rates partially
offset  by  an  increase in  rental  operations
expense  including management fees due  to  the
increase in average occupancy.  The decrease in
the loss from 1997 to 1998 is the result of  an
increase in rental income due to an increase in
the  average  occupancy (88%  to  93%)  and  an
increase  in the average rental rates partially
offset  by  an  increase  in  maintenance   and
commissions expense increased due to  a  higher
turnover of apartment units.

              In  1999,  Registrant incurred  a
loss  of  $95,000  at  Wistar  Alley  including
$88,000   of   depreciation  and   amortization
expense compared to a loss of $98,000 including
$88,000   of   depreciation  and   amortization
expense   in  1998  and  a  loss  of   $142,000
including    $87,000   of   depreciation    and
amortization expense in 1997.  The decrease  in
the loss from 1998 to 1999 is the result of  an
increase in rental income due to an increase in
the average rental rates partially offset by an
increase  in  maintenance expense.  Maintenance
expense  increased due to an  increase  in  the
turnover  of apartment units.  The decrease  in
the loss from 1997 to 1998 is the result of  an
increase in rental income due to an increase in
the  average  occupancy (90%  to  96%)  and  an
increase  in the average rental rates  combined
with  a decrease in maintenance expense due  to
deferred  maintenance performed at the property
in 1997.

         Independent Auditor's Report

To the Partners of
Diversified Historic Investors

We  have  audited the accompanying consolidated
balance sheet of Diversified Historic Investors
(a   Pennsylvania   Limited  Partnership)   and
subsidiaries as of December 31, 1999  and  1998
and   the  related  statements  of  operations,
changes in partners' equity and cash flows  for
the  years  ended December 31, 1999,  1998  and
1997.   These consolidated financial statements
are  the  responsibility of  the  Partnership's
management.  Our responsibility is  to  express
an  opinion  on  these  consolidated  financial
statements based on our audit.

We  conducted  our  audit  in  accordance  with
generally  accepted auditing standards.   Those
standards require that we plan and perform  the
audit  to  obtain  reasonable  assurance  about
whether  the consolidated financial  statements
are  free  of material misstatement.  An  audit
includes  examining, on a test basis,  evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures  in  the
consolidated  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 audit provides a  reasonable
basis for our opinion.

In  our  opinion,  the  consolidated  financial
statements referred to above present fairly, in
all  material respects, the financial  position
of   Diversified  Historic  Investors   as   of
December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the results  of
operations  and cash flows for the years  ended
December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.

Our audits were made for the purpose of forming
an  opinion  on the basic financial  statements
taken  as a whole.  The Schedule of Real Estate
and  Accumulated Depreciation  on  page  24  is
presented   for  the  purposes  of   additional
analysis  and  is not a required  part  of  the
basic  financial statements.  Such  information
has  been  subjected to the auditing procedures
applied  in  the  audit of the basic  financial
statements  and,  in  our  opinion,  is  fairly
stated in all material respects in relation  to
the  basic  financial  statements  taken  as  a
whole.

                    DIVERSIFIED HISTORIC INVESTORS
                        (a limited partnership)

              NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE A - ORGANIZATION

Diversified Historic Investors (the "Partnership") was formed in March
1984, with Diversified Historic Advisors as the General Partner.  Upon
the  admission  of  additional limited partners, the  initial  limited
partner withdrew.

The  Partnership was formed to acquire, rehabilitate, and manage  real
properties which are certified historic structures as defined  in  the
Internal  Revenue  Code  (the  "Code"), or  which  were  eligible  for
designation  as  such, utilizing the mortgage financing  and  the  net
proceeds   from   the   sale  of  limited  partnership   units.    Any
rehabilitations undertaken by the Partnership were done with a view to
obtaining   certification  of  expenditures  therefore  as  "qualified
rehabilitation expenditures" as defined in the Code.

NOTE B - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

A  summary  of  the  significant accounting policies  applied  in  the
preparation  of  the  accompanying consolidated  financial  statements
follows:

1.   Principles of Consolidation

These financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of
normal   recurring  adjustments)  which,  in  the   opinion   of   the
Partnership's General Partner, are necessary for a fair  statement  of
the results for those years.

2.   Depreciation

Depreciation  is  computed  using the straight-line  method  over  the
estimated useful lives of the assets.  Buildings and improvements  are
depreciated over 25 years and furniture and fixtures over five years.

3.   Costs of Issuance

Costs  incurred  in connection with the offering and sale  of  limited
partnership units were charged against partners' equity as incurred.

4.   Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Partnership considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with
a maturity of less than three months to be cash equivalents.
5.   Net Income or Loss Per Limited Partnership Unit

The  net income or loss per limited partnership unit is based  on  the
weighted  average  number  of  limited partnership  units  outstanding
during the period (11,609.6 in 1999, 1998, and 1997).

6.   Income Taxes

Income  taxes or credits resulting from earnings or losses are payable
by  or  accrue  to  the  benefits  of the  partners;  accordingly,  no
provision   has  been  made  for  income  taxes  in  these   financial
statements.

7.   Restricted Cash

Restricted cash includes amounts held for tenant security deposits and
real estate tax reserves.

8.   Revenue Recognition

Revenues  are recognized when rental payments are due on  a  straight-
line  basis.   Rental payments received in advance are deferred  until
earned.

9.   Rental Properties

Rental  properties are stated at cost.  A provision for impairment  of
value is recorded when a decline in value of property is determined to
be  other  than temporary as a result of one or more of the following:
(1)  a  property  is  offered for sale at a price  below  its  current
carrying  value, (2) a property has significant balloon  payments  due
within the foreseeable future for which the Partnership does not  have
the  resources  to meet, and anticipates it will be unable  to  obtain
replacement financing or debt modification sufficient to allow  it  to
continue to hold the property over a reasonable period of time, (3)  a
property has been, and is expected to continue, generating significant
operating  deficits  and  the Partnership is unable  or  unwilling  to
sustain such deficit results of operations, and has been unable to, or
anticipates it will be unable to, obtain debt modification,  financing
or refinancing sufficient to allow it to continue to hold the property
for  a  reasonable  period  of time or, (4)  a  property's  value  has
declined  based on management's expectations with respect to projected
future operational cash flows and prevailing economic conditions.   An
impairment  loss is indicated when the undiscounted sum  of  estimated
future  cash flows from an asset, including estimated sales  proceeds,
and  assuming a reasonable period of ownership up to 5 years, is  less
than  the  carrying  amount  of the asset.   The  impairment  loss  is
measured  as the difference between the estimated fair value  and  the
carrying   amount  of  the  asset.  In  the  absence  of   the   above
circumstances,  properties and improvements are stated  at  cost.   An
analysis is done on an annual basis at December 31 of each year.





10. Use of Estimates

The  preparation  of  the  financial  statements  in  conformity  with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management  to  make
estimates  and  assumptions that affect the amounts  reported  in  the
financial  statements  and accompanying notes.  Actual  results  could
differ from those estimates.

NOTE C - GOING CONCERN

In  recent  years  the  Partnership has realized  significant  losses,
including the foreclosure of five properties and a portion of a  sixth
property, due to the properties' inability to generate sufficient cash
flow   to  pay  their  operating  expenses  and  debt  service.    The
Partnership  has  first mortgages in place on each  of  its  remaining
properties  that  are basically "cash-flow" mortgages,  requiring  all
available cash after payment of operating expenses to be paid  to  the
first mortgage holder.  Therefore it is unlikely that any cash will be
available  to  the  Partnership to pay its general and  administrative
expenses,  to  pay  debt service on the past-due subordinate  mortgage
with  respect to the Third Quarter or to pay any debt service  on  the
two accrual mortgages with respect to Wistar Alley.

It  is  the Partnership's intention to continue to hold the properties
until  they  can  no  longer meet debt service requirements  (or  with
respect to Third Quarter and Wistar Alley, the lender seeks payment on
the  past  due  mortgage) and the properties are  foreclosed,  or  the
market value of the properties increases to a point where they can  be
sold   at  a  price  which  is  sufficient  to  repay  the  underlying
indebtedness.

Since  the  lenders  have agreed either to forebear  from  taking  any
foreclosure action as long as cash flow payments are made,  to  accrue
all  debt  service in lieu of payment, or have (in the case  of  Third
Quarter)  not moved to declare a default for a substantial  period  of
time  after  the  mortgage due date, the Partnership  believes  it  is
appropriate to continue presenting the financial statements on a going
concern basis.

NOTE D - PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT

The significant terms of the amended and restated Agreement of Limited
Partnership  (the  "Agreement"),  as  they  relate  to  the  financial
statements, follow:

The  Agreement provides that, beginning with the date of the admission
of  subscribers  as  limited  partners, all  distributable  cash  from
operations  (as  defined)  will  be distributed  90%  to  the  limited
partners and 10% to the General Partner.

All  distributable cash from sales or refinancing will be  distributed
to  the  limited partners equal to their Original Capital Contribution
plus an amount equal to 6% of their Original Capital Contribution  per
annum  on  a  cumulative basis less the sum of all prior distributions
and,  thereafter, after receipts by certain affiliates of the  General
partner  of  their subordinated real estate commissions,  the  limited
partners will receive 85% of cash from sales or refinancings.

Net income or loss from operations of the Partnership is allocated  1%
to the General Partner and 99% to the Limited Partners.

NOTE E - ACQUISITIONS

The  Partnership  acquired six properties and two general  or  limited
partnership  interests  during the period November  1984  to  December
1986, as discussed below.

In  November 1984, the Partnership purchased 20 residential apartments
located  in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania for a cash capital contribution
of  $4,056,475.  The lender on eleven of the apartments foreclosed  in
December  1996.   In  1999, the Partnership sold 3  of  the  apartment
units.

Also in November 1984, the Partnership purchased a building located in
Philadelphia,  Pennsylvania, consisting of 17 units and  1,000  square
feet  of  commercial  space,  for  a  cash  capital  contribution   of
$1,725,000.

In  December  1984, the Partnership purchased two adjoining  buildings
located  in  Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, consisting of 18  residential

partner interest, to a Pennsylvania general partnership which owned 21
residential units located in East Greenwich, Rhode Island, for a  cash
capital  contribution  of  $3,600,000.  The  lender  on  the  property
foreclosed in 1993.

In  June  1985,  the Partnership was admitted, with  a  99.5%  general
partner interest, to a Pennsylvania general partnership which owned  a
building  consisting  of  50  residential units  located  in  Reading,
Pennsylvania,  for  a cash capital contribution  of  $2,650,000.   The
lender on the property foreclosed in 1995.

In  December  1986,  the Partnership acquired a  building  located  in
Savannah,  Georgia, consisting of 13 apartments and 7,820 square  feet
of commercial space, for a cash capital contribution of $812,916.  The
lender on the property foreclosed in 1993.

(A)  In 1991, the Partnership stopped  making    scheduled    mortgage
     payments.   No notice of default has yet been received  from  the
     lender.   The interest in arrears amounts to $176,517 at December
     31, 1999 which includes $20,767 for each of 1999, 1998 and 1997.

(B)  Interest  is  no longer being accrued on these notes,  since  the
     first  mortgage is a cash flow mortgage and is not being serviced
     to  the  extent of total interest due.  The interest  in  arrears
     amounts  to $355,407 at December 31, 1998 which includes  $41,813
     for each of 1999, 1998 and 1997.

(C)  This  note  represents  amounts owed to  developers  pursuant  to

     accrued on the remaining note, since the first mortgage is a cash
     flow  mortgage and is not being serviced to the extent  of  total
     interest  due.   The interest in arrears amounts  to  $66,500  at
     December  31, 1999 which includes $8,742, $9,488 and  $9,613  for
     1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

NOTE G - TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES

On  June 30, 1992 Diversified Historic Properties, Inc., co-partner of
the  Partnership's general partner, assigned to D, LTD (its parent)  a
note  receivable from the Partnership in the amount of $127,418  which
bears  interest at 10% with the entire principal and accrued  interest
due  on  June 30, 1997.  On October 8, 1993 D, LTD obtained a judgment
in  the  amount  of $156,873 on this note in Common  Pleas  Court  for
Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania.  The judgment accrues  interest  at
15%.  Interest accrued was $6,713 during both 1998 and 1999.  Payments
on the judgment are to be made from available cash flow and before any
distribution  can be made to the Partnership's limited partners.   The
balance of the note at December 31, 1999 is $78,831.

NOTE H - EXTRAORDINARY GAIN

During  1999,  the  Partnership sold three condominium  units  at  the
Smythe  Stores condominium complex.  In connection with  those  sales,
$939,333  of debt was extinguished.  The extraordinary gain represents
the  excess of the debt extinguished over the fair market value of the
units.
