                             PART I

Item 1.   Business

          a. General Development of Business

           Diversified Historic Investors II ("Registrant") is  a
limited partnership formed in 1984 under Pennsylvania law.  As of
December  31, 1999, Registrant had outstanding 20,593.3 units  of
limited partnership interest (the "Units").

           Registrant  is presently in its operating  stage.   It
originally  owned  four  properties or  interests  therein.   Its
interest  in one property has been lost through foreclosure.   It
currently owns three properties or interests therein.   See  Item
2.  Properties, for a description thereof.  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"), or which are eligible for designation as such,  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. Two of the properties are held for  rental
operations and one is operated as a hotel.  As of the date hereof
it  is  anticipated that all the properties will continue  to  be
held  for  these purposes.  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   (or   interests  therein),  one  each   located   in
Pennsylvania,  Maryland,  and  Georgia.   In  total,  the   three
properties contain 269 apartment units, 73,366 square feet ("sf")
of  commercial/retail space and 44 hotel rooms.  As  of  December
31,  1999, 263 of the apartment units were under lease at monthly
rental rates ranging from $677 to $1,815 and approximately 65,696
sf  of  commercial space was under lease at annual  rental  rates
ranging from $5.33 per sf to $26.83 per sf.  Throughout 1999, all
of  the  hotel  rooms were available for use.  During  1999,  the
hotel  maintained  an average nightly room rate  of  $126.45  and
average   occupancy  of  66%.   Rental  of  the  apartments   and
commercial  space is not expected to be seasonal.   However,  the
hotel  does experience seasonal changes, with the busiest  months
being  February,  March and April and the  slowest  months  being
August  and  December.  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  industry.   As a result of  the  overbuilding  that
occurred  in  the  1980's, the competition in the  local  markets
where  the  Registrant's  properties  are  located  is  generally
strong.   As a result, the Registrant is forced to keep its  rent
levels  competitively low in order to maintain moderate  to  high
occupancy  levels.  One residential property is  located  in  the
suburbs  of Philadelphia and the other is located in the Historic
District of the Inner Harbor in Baltimore.  In both locations the
competition  for  tenants  remains  stiff  and  several   similar
buildings  exist.  The apartment market remains  stable  and  new
construction   remains   virtually   nonexistent   although   the
availability of favorable home financing has placed  pressure  on
the rental tenant base.

             The hotel is located in Savannah, Georgia and is one
of  several  historic  buildings which have been  converted  into
hotels  and inns.  The hotel relies heavily on the tourist  trade
which  is  on  the upswing in Savannah.  The hotel  is  generally
considered  to be a market leader, due to its location  on  River
Street,  the main shopping and entertainment area on  the  river,
and  the  fact that it provides a full array of hotel  amenities,
not just a bed and breakfast atmosphere.

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

Operations and Export 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. Tindeco Wharf - consists of 240 apartment units and
approximately  41,307  sf of commercial  space  located  at  2809
Boston  Street  in the Fell's Point-Canton Historic  District  of
Baltimore,  Maryland.  In October 1985, Registrant  was  admitted
with  an  85% interest, to Tindeco Wharf Partnership  ("TWP"),  a
Maryland   general  partnership,  for  a  cash  contribution   of
$7,271,300.   Registrant  subsequently  increased  its  ownership
interest  in  TWP to 90% by purchasing an additional 5%  interest
for $262,500.  TWP acquired and rehabilitated this Property at an
approximate  cost  of $28,600,000 ($66 per  sf),  funded  by  the
equity  contribution and mortgage financing of $21,869,600.   The
mortgage financing is comprised of mortgage revenue bonds  and  a
Urban  Development Action Grant ("UDAG") loan.   Other  financing
includes  a  loan from the developer of $2,300,000 and  operating
deficit  loans from both the property manager and D, LTD  in  the
original principal amounts of $300,000 and $200,000 respectively.
The  operating deficit loans were repaid during 1999.  The excess
of  equity  and  mortgage  financing  over  the  acquisition  and
rehabilitation  costs  was  utilized to  provide  various  escrow
deposits and required reserves.

              The  City  of  Baltimore  issued  mortgage  revenue
refunding  bonds,  Series  1992, (GNMA  collateralized)  for  the
purpose  of providing permanent financing for TWP. The bonds  are
backed by a HUD-insured mortgage ("the note").  The note, held by
GNMA  as lender, bears interest at a rate of 9.75% per annum  and
is  secured  by a first mortgage on the property.  Principal  and
interest  is  payable in monthly installments of  $143,801.   The
note  matures December 2028.  The refunding issue bears  interest
at  an average rate of 6.62%.  The difference in the interest  on
the  mortgage  and  the refunding bonds is returned  to  TWP  for
operations.

              The  principal balance of the bonds was $16,639,455
at December 31, 1999.  The bonds are comprised of both serial and
term bonds.  The serial bonds bear interest at rates ranging from
4.6%  to  6.1%  and mature semi-annually from June  1999  through
December  2006.   The term bonds bear interest at  rates  ranging
from  6.5% to 6.7% and mature in 2012, 2024, and 2028.  The  UDAG
loan  (which  has a balance of $4,953,471 at December  31,  1999)
bore interest at 4% through August 1994 and at 7 1/2% thereafter.
This  loan  is  due  in  2004.  The developer's  loan  (principal
balance of $2,300,000 at December 31, 1999) bears interest at 12%
and  are  payable on a pro-rata basis out of cash flow  from  the
property.   The developer's loan is due in 2005, or upon  earlier
sale or refinancing of the property.

             The property is managed by BCMI.  As of December 31,
1999, 229 apartment units (96%) and 40,852 sf of commercial space
(98%) were under lease.  Monthly rental rates range from $810  to
$1,815 for apartments and annual rental rates range from $5.33 to
$20.55  per sf for commercial space.  All residential leases  are
renewable,  one-year leases.  The occupancy for  the  residential
units for the previous four years was 98% for 1998, 98% for 1997,
95%  for  1996, and 97% 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  97%  for
1998,  100% for 1997, 100% for 1996, and 85% for 1995.  The range
for  annual rents has been $5.33 to $25.34 per sf for 1998, $5.33
to $19.47 per sf for 1997, $5.33 to $19.47 per sf for 1996, $5.33
to  $18.54  per  sf  for 1995.  There are four tenants  who  each
occupy  ten  percent  or more of the commercial  rentable  square
footage.   They  operate  principally  as  a  medical  office,  a
restaurant, a fitness club and a travel agency.

expirations at Tindeco Wharf for the next five years.

              For  tax purposes, this property has a federal  tax
basis  of  $29,933,217 and is depreciated using the straight-line
method  with a useful life of 27.5 years.  The annual real estate
taxes  are  $420,795  which is based  on  an  assessed  value  of
$17,359,517,  taxed  at a rate of $6.06  per  $100.   It  is  the
opinion of the management of the Registrant that the property  is
adequately covered by insurance.

           b.  River  Street Inn/Factor's Walk - consists  of  44
hotel  rooms and 22,559 sf of commercial space located at 115  E.
River  Street  in Savannah, Georgia.  In August 1985,  Registrant
was  admitted  with  a  99% interest in  Factor's  Walk  Partners
("FWP")  a  Georgia  general partnership,  for  $3,600,409.   FWP
acquired and rehabilitated the property for $8,900,409 ($127  per
sf),  including  financing through an issuance by a  governmental
agency of tax-exempt bonds in the principal amount of $5,800,000.
The  excess of equity and mortgage financing over the acquisition
and  rehabilitation costs was utilized to provide working capital
reserves  of $500,000.  The bonds bore interest at TENR  (a  rate
based   on   yields  of  high  quality,  short-term  tax   exempt
obligations)  plus  0.5%  until  December  30,  1996   and   were
guaranteed by a private corporation.  On December 30, 1996,  both
the  bonds  and the guarantee were sold.  The new holder  of  the
bonds  exercised its right to convert the interest rate from  the
variable  rate  to  14%  due  to the credit  rating  of  the  new
guarantor.   The principal balance of the bonds at  December  31,
1999 was $6,531,626 and are due on December 31, 2015.

             The property is managed by BCMI.  As of December 31,
1999, 16,652 sf of the commercial space (74%) was under lease  at
annual  rental rates ranging from $7.89 to $26.83  per  sf.   The
property  also maintains 44 operating hotel rooms at  an  average
nightly   rate  of  $126.45;  average  occupancy  for  1999   was
approximately  66%.  The hotel occupancy rate  for  the  previous
four years was 75% for 1998, 74% for 1997, 77% for 1996, and  78%
for  1995.  The average room rates were $128.06 for 1998, $106.06
for  1997, $100.92 for 1996, $94.54 for 1995 and $90.18 for 1994.
The  occupancy for the commercial space was 74% for 1999, 74% for
1998, 96% for 1997, and 97% for 1996.  The range for annual rents

taxed  at a rate of $24.295 per $100.  It is the opinion  of  the
management  of  the  Registrant that the property  is  adequately
covered by insurance.

                             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  96  Units  of
record were sold or exchanged in 1999.

           b.  As  of  December 31, 1999, there are 2,563  record
holders of Units.

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

Item 6.   Selected Financial Data

           The following selected financial data are for the five
years  ended  December  31, 1999.  The data  should  be  read  in
conjunction  with the consolidated financial statements  included
elsewhere  herein.  This data is not covered by  the  independent

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

          (1)  Liquidity

              At  December  31,  1999,  Registrant  had  cash  of
$38,110.   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  loan
modifications with the various lenders in order to remain current
on  all  obligations  and  to  defer administrative  costs.   The
Registrant is not aware of any additional sources of liquidity.

              As  of December 31, 1999, Registrant had restricted
cash of $1,508,524 consisting primarily of funds held as security
deposits,  replacement  reserves 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  one  property,
due to the properties' inability to generate sufficient cash flow
to pay their operating expenses and debt service.  At the present
time,  all  three  remaining properties are  able  to  pay  their
operating expenses and debt service but it is unlikely  that  any
cash  will be available to the Registrant to pay its general  and
administrative expenses.  In the legal proceeding  involving  the
Morrison  Clark Inn (see "Results of Operations"  below  in  this
Item  7), a property formerly owned by the Registrant, if Capital
Bank  executes upon its $1,800,000 judgment with respect  to  the
Registrant, it is expected to have significant adverse impact  on
the  Registrant since there is insufficient available cash to pay
the  judgment.  Any such execution could result in a forced  sale
of   the   Registrant's  remaining  properties.    However,   the
Registrant  has  in the past been able to obtain  forbearance  on
execution for several years upon payment of a $20,000 fee to  the
judgment  creditor and believes it may be able to do so when  the
current forbearance period ends in July 2000.

             It is the Registrant's intention to continue to hold
the  properties until they can no longer meet their debt  service
requirements  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 (principal plus accrued interest).

          (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.

          (3)  Results of Operations

              During  1999,  Registrant incurred a  net  loss  of
$4,292,936 ($206.38 per limited partnership unit), compared to  a
net loss of $2,980,282 ($143.27 per limited partnership unit), in
1998   and  a  net  loss  of  $3,457,494  ($166.22  per   limited
partnership unit), in 1997.

             Rental and hotel income increased from $5,745,987 in
1997  to  $6,206,351 in 1998 to $6,399,533 in 1999.  The increase
from  1998  to  1999 is due to an increase in residential  rental
income  at  Tindeco  Wharf, offset by a  decrease  at  Washington
Square. The increase in rental income at Tindeco Wharf is due  to
an  increase in average occupancy (64% to 80%). Washington Square
reflected  a  decrease  in rental income due  to  a  decrease  in
occupancy rates (97% to 95%).  The increase from 1997 to 1998  is
due   to  an  increase  in  residential  rental  income  at  both
Washington  Square and Tindeco Wharf due to an  increase  in  the
average  rental rates combined with an increase in  hotel  income
due  to  an  increase  in the average nightly  rate  ($106.06  to
$128.06) at the River Street Inn.

              Interest income increased from $29,639 in  1997  to
$35,575  in 1998 and decreased to $23,336 in 1999.  The  decrease
from  1998  to  1999 is the result of a decrease in the  interest
bearing  restricted cash balance at Tindeco Wharf.  The  increase
from 1997 to 1998 resulted from an increase in that balance.

             Rental operations expenses decreased from $1,858,158
in  1997  to  $1,850,883 in 1998 and increased to  $3,389,492  in
1999.  The  increase in rental operations expenses from  1998  to
1999  is  due to an increase in maintenance expense at Washington
Square  and  Tindeco  Wharf.  Maintenance  expense  increased  at
Washington  Square  due  to an increase in apartment  preparation
expense  caused  by  a  higher turnover of apartment  units.  The
increase  in  maintenance  expense at Tindeco  Wharf  is  due  to
planned   repairs  at  the  property  including   roof   repairs,
electrical and plumbing repairs, and painting. The decrease  from
1997  to  1998  resulted  mainly from a decrease  in  maintenance
expense  due to a lower turnover of apartment units  in  1998  as
compared  to  1997 at Washington Square and a decrease  in  legal
fees  at Tindeco Wharf due to nonrecurring fees incurred in  1997
in  connection with a review of the loan documents pertaining  to
the financing of the property.

              Hotel  operations expense increased from $1,385,410
in  1997  to  $1,423,018 in 1998 and decreased to  $1,215,631  in
1999.   The  decrease from 1998 to 1999 is due to a  decrease  in
food  and  maintenance  expense as a  result  of  a  decrease  in
occupancy throughout the year.  The increase from 1997 to 1998 is
due  to  an increase in legal fees partially offset by a decrease
in  administrative expenses.  Legal fees increased  due  to  fees
paid  in connection with a settlement agreement with the previous
loan guarantor in 1998.  Administrative expenses increased due to
a  misclassification  of  payments on a note  payable  where  the
payments should have been classified as administrative expenses.

              Partnership  administrative fees  incurred  in  the
amount   of  $1,333,786  during  1999  are  the  result  of   the
termination of the management agreement with Signature Management
Services at Tindeco Wharf.

              Interest expense increased from $3,975,462 in  1997
to  $4,007,500 in 1998 to $4,122,243 in 1999.  The increase  from
1998  to  1999 is due to an increase in interest expense  at  the
River  Street  Inn  and Tindeco Wharf. The increase  in  interest
expense  at  the  River Street Inn is due to an increase  in  the
principal  balance  due  to advances made by the  first  mortgage
holder  to fund building renovations.  Interest expense increased
at  Tindeco  Wharf  due to the accrual of interest  on  a  higher
average  balance  on the second mortgage.  The balance  increased
due  to  the capitalization of interest accrued but not  paid  on
certain loans, as described below.

               Depreciation   and  amortization  increased   from
$1,714,090  in  1997  to  $1,742,807 in  1998  and  increased  to
$1,790,439 in 1999.  The increase from 1998 to 1999 and from 1997
to 1998 is due to an increase at the River Street Inn and Tindeco
Wharf due to the depreciation of fixed asset additions.

              In  1999, losses of $3,768,069 were incurred at the
Registrant's three properties compared to $2,456,000 in 1998  and
$2,711,000     in    1997.     A    discussion    of     property
operations/activities follows:

               In  1999,  Tindeco  Wharf  sustained  a  loss   of
$2,824,155  including $1,233,000 of depreciation and amortization
expense  and  $904,000 of deferred interest (reflecting  interest
accrued  but  not  paid on the developer's and operating  deficit
loans)  compared to a loss of $1,559,000 including $1,201,000  of
depreciation and amortization expense and $1,094,000 of  deferred
interest  in 1998 and a loss of $1,642,000, including  $1,175,000
of depreciation and amortization expense and $708,000 of deferred
interest in 1997. The increase in the loss from 1998 to  1999  is
the  result  of the partnership administrative fee,  referred  to
above,  and an increase in maintenance, interest and depreciation
expense  combined  with a decrease in interest income,  partially
offset  by  an  increase  in  rental  income.   The  increase  in
maintenance  expense is due to planned repairs  at  the  property
including  roof,  electrical and plumbing repairs  and  painting.
Interest  expense increased due to the accrual of interest  on  a
higher  average  balance  on the second  mortgage.   Depreciation
expense  increased  due  to  the  depreciation  of  fixed   asset
additions.   Partnership  administrative  fees  incurred  in  the
amount   of  $1,333,786  during  1999  are  the  result  of   the
termination of the management agreement with Signature Management
Services.  The decrease in interest income is due to the decrease
in  the  interest bearing restricted cash balance. Rental  income
increased  due  to  an  increase  in  average  rental  rates  and
occupancy  (75% to 90%).  The decrease in the loss from  1997  to
1998  is  the result of an increase in residential rental  income
and  interest  income  combined with a  decrease  in  legal  fees
partially  offset  by  an increase in interest  and  depreciation
expense.   Residential rental income increased due to an increase
in  the average rental rates and interest income increased due to
an  increase  in  the balance of the interest bearing  restricted
cash.  Legal fees decreased due to nonrecurring fees incurred  in
1997 in connection with a review of the loan documents pertaining
to the financing of the property.  Interest expense increased due
to  an  increase in the principal balance upon which interest  is
calculated.    Depreciation  expense   increased   due   to   the
depreciation of fixed asset additions.

              In  1999, the River Street Inn sustained a loss  of
$936,000  including  $382,000  of depreciation  and  amortization
expense  compared  to  a loss of $907,000 including  $371,000  of
depreciation  and  amortization expense in 1998  and  a  loss  of
$1,038,000, including $372,000 of depreciation expense  in  1997.
The  increase in the loss from 1998 to 1999 is due to a  decrease
in  hotel  income  combined  with an  increase  in  interest  and
depreciation  expense,   offset  by  a  decrease  in   food   and
maintenance  expense. The decrease in hotel income is  due  to  a
decrease  in  occupancy (80% to 64%). Interest expense  increased
due  to  an increase in principal balance upon which interest  is
accrued due to advances made by the first mortgage holder to fund
building  repairs.  Depreciation expense  increased  due  to  the
depreciation of fixed asset additions. The decrease in  food  and
maintenance  expense  is  a result of  a  decrease  in  occupancy
throughout the year.  The decrease in the loss from 1997 to  1998
is due to an increase in hotel income combined with a decrease in
administrative expenses partially offset by an increase in  legal
fees.   Hotel income increased due to an increase in the  average
nightly   rate  ($106.06  to  $128.06).   Administrative  expense
increased  due  to  a  misclassification of payments  on  a  note
payable  where  the  payments  should  have  been  classified  as
administrative expenses.  Legal fees increased due to  fees  paid
in  connection  with  obtaining a settlement agreement  with  the
previous loan guarantor in 1998.

             FWP is involved in one legal proceeding as discussed
below:

               J.   A.   Jones  Construction  Company   ("Jones")
contracted  with FWP for the renovation of what was originally  a
warehouse  into  the  River  Street  Inn/Factor's  Walk.   During
construction, numerous disputes arose between the parties.  As  a
result  of those disputes, Jones abandoned the project  prior  to
completion   and  filed  suit  in  the  matter  of   J.A.   Jones
Construction  Company  v. Factor's Walk Partners  in  the  United
States  District Court for the Northern District of Georgia.   On
January  1, 1994, the court entered a judgment in favor of  Jones
and  against  FWP  in  the  amount of $1,069,017.   The  judgment
accrued  interest at 9.5% and $62,562 of interest was accrued  in
both 1994 and 1995.  FWP filed an appeal and this appeal was held
in abeyance while FWP and Jones participated in a court sponsored
settlement program.  On November 8, 1996, a settlement  agreement
was  reached  whereby  a  note in the amount  of  $1,000,000  was
issued.  The note calls for 6% interest until September 1,  1997,
with  the  rate increasing .5% on each August 1 thereafter  to  a
maximum  rate  of prime plus 2% (therefore, 7.5% at December  31,
1999) and is due on October 1, 2011.  Interest is due quarterly.

              On  June 30, 1992, DHP, Inc. assigned to D,  LTD  a
note  receivable,  from  FWP  to the Registrant,  that  had  been
assigned  to  DHP,  Inc.  The note was in the  stated  amount  of
$55,951  and bore interest at 10%; the note was due on  June  30,
1997.   On  January 13, 1994 D, LTD obtained a judgment  on  this
note  in  the  amount  of  $73,184  in  Common  Pleas  Court  for
Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania.  The judgment accrues interest
at  15%.  The judgment provided that all future distributions, in
any  form,  due  to  the Registrant on account of  its  ownership
interest  in  FWP be immediately delivered to D,  LTD.   Interest
accrued  during  1999 was $24,665. The balance  of  the  note  at
December 31, 1999 was $178,100.

             In 1999, Washington Square incurred a loss of $8,000
including $122,000 of depreciation expense compared to income  of
$10,000 including $117,000 of depreciation expense in 1998 and  a
loss  of  $31,000 including $113,000 of depreciation  expense  in
1997.   The  loss in 1999 is due to a decrease in  rental  income
combined with an increase in maintenance expense. The decrease in
rental income is due to a decrease in rental occupancy rates (97%
to  95%).  The  increase in maintenance  expense  is  due  to  an
increase  in  apartment preparation expense caused  by  a  higher
turnover of apartment units.  The decrease in the loss from  1997
to  1998 resulted mainly from an increase in rental income due to
an  increase in the average rental rates combined with a decrease
in  maintenance expense.  Maintenance expense decreased due to  a
lower turnover of apartment units in 1998 as compared to 1997.

              On  June 30, 1992, DHP, Inc. assigned to D,  LTD  a
note  receivable  from  the Registrant in the  stated  amount  of
$404,046.  The note bore interest at 10% and was due on June  30,
1997.  On March 23, 1993 D, LTD obtained a judgment on this  note
in  the amount of $454,299 in Common Pleas Court for Philadelphia
County,  Pennsylvania.   The judgment accrues  interest  at  15%.
Interest  accrued during 1999 and 1998 was $155,167 and $147,747,
respectively.   Payments on the judgment  are  to  be  made  from
available  cash  flow  from  Washington  Square  and  before  any
distribution  can  be made to the Registrant's limited  partners.
The balance of the note at December 31, 1999 is $1,048,973.

             The seller of Washington Square agreed to lend funds
to  the  Partnership to cover cash flow deficits for a  five-year
period  expiring  in  1990.   The  Partnership  borrowed  $97,008
through  December  1988.  The loan bears interest  at  12%,  with
principal  and  interest  payments out of  cash  flow.   Interest
accrued  during both 1999 and 1998 was $11,641.  The  balance  of
the note at December 31, 1999 was $236,700.

               In   February   1993,  one  of  the   Registrant's
properties, the Morrison-Clark Inn, was foreclosed by the lender.
In November 1993, the lender obtained a judgment in the matter of
Capital  Bank, N.A. v. Diversified Historic Investors II  in  the
amount  of $1,800,000.  In return for payment of $20,000, Capital
Bank  has agreed to forbear from executing on the judgment  until
July  6,  2000.   Although there have been  no  discussions,  the
Registrant  anticipates  that it  will  be  able  to  extend  the
forbearance   agreement  for  several  more  years  for   similar
consideration.

Risk

          Not applicable.

                  Independent Auditor's Report

To the Partners of
Diversified Historic Investors II

We  have  audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet  of
Diversified   Historic  Investors  II  (a  Pennsylvania   limited
partnership)  and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1999  and  1998
and the related statements of operations and 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 did not  audit  the
financial   statements  of  Tindeco  Wharf   Partnership,   which
statements reflect total assets of $18,324,708 and $19,072,099 as
of  December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively, and total  revenues
of  $4,306,834  and $3,954,174, respectively for the  years  then
ended.   Those  statements were audited by other  auditors  whose
report has been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar  as  it
relates to the amounts included for Tindeco Wharf Partnership, is
based solely on the report of the other auditors.

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, based on our audits and the report of the  other
auditors, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
presents fairly, in all material respects, the financial position
of  Diversified  Historic Investors II  and  subsidiaries  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 28 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  consolidated financial statements and, in our opinion, which
insofar  as  it  relates to Tindeco Wharf  Partnership  is  based
solely  on  the  report of other auditors,  such  information  is
fairly  stated in all material respects in relation to the  basic
financial statements taken as a whole.

As  discussed in Note C of the financial statements,  Diversified
Historic  Investors  II  is liable for payment  of  a  $1,800,000
guarantee resulting from the foreclosure on a property  in  1993.
In  the  past  the  partnership has been  able  to  continue  the
forebearance when the period ends in July, 2000.  If  the  lender
executes  judgment  it  is expected to have  significant  adverse
impact  on the partnership and could result in a forced  sale  of
the remaining properties.

                  Independent Auditor's Report


To the Partners of
Tindeco Wharf Partnership

We  have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Tindeco  Wharf
Partnership  as of December 31, 1999, and the related  statements
of profit and loss, partners' deficit and cash flows for the year
then  ended.  The financial statements are the responsibility  of
the  Partnership's management.  Our responsibility is to  express
an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We  conducted  our  audit in accordance with  generally  accepted
auditing  standards and Government Auditing Standards, issued  by
the  Comptroller  General of the United States.  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 audit provides  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  Tindeco  Wharf Partnership as of December 31, 1999,  and  the
results  of its operations, the changes in partners' deficit  and
its  cash  flows  for  the  year then ended  in  conformity  with
generally accepted accounting principles.

                DIVERSIFIED HISTORIC INVESTORS II
                     (a limited partnership)


NOTE A - ORGANIZATION

Diversified Historic Investors II (the "Partnership") was  formed
in  December  1984  to  acquire, rehabilitate,  and  manage  real
properties which are certified historic structures as defined  in
the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code"), or which are eligible for
designation  as such, utilizing mortgage financing  and  the  net
proceeds   from   the   sale   of  limited   partnership   units.
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.
The  General Partner, Dover Historic Advisors, has the  exclusive
responsibility for all aspects of the Partnership's operations

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

The   accompanying  consolidated  financial  statements  of   the
Partnership  include the accounts of two subsidiary  partnerships
(the  "Ventures"),  in  which  the  Partnership  has  controlling
interests,  with  appropriate  elimination  of  inter-partnership
transactions  and  balances.  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  the  years
presented.

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.   Finance Costs

Loan fees have been incurred with respect to certain loans.  Such
fees are being amortized over the terms of the related loans  (18
to 40 years) and being charged to amortization expense.

The  Partnership prepaid all amounts due under a ground lease for
one  of its properties.  Such prepayment is being amortized  over
the   term  of  the  lease  (75  years)  and  being  charged   to
amortization expense.

Tindeco Wharf Partnership ("TWP") incurred $791,054 of settlement
fees  in  conjunction with a bond refinancing.  These  settlement
fees  are  included in other assets and are being amortized  over
the  term  of  the  bond  issue.   Accumulated  amortization  was
$165,544   and   $143,351  at  December  31,   1999   and   1998,
respectively.

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 Per Limited Partnership Unit

The  net  income  per limited partnership unit is  based  on  the
weighted  average number of limited partnership units outstanding
during the period (20,593.3 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, insurance 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 a 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 sufficient resources, 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 deficits and has been unable, 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 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 E - ACQUISITIONS

The   Partnership  acquired  one  property  and   three   general
partnership  interests in Ventures during the period August  1985
to October 1985, as discussed below.

In  August 1985, the Partnership was admitted, with a 99% general
partner  interest,  to a Pennsylvania general partnership,  which
owns  a  building  located in Savannah,  Georgia,  consisting  of
22,559  commercial square feet and a 44 room hotel,  for  a  cash
capital contribution of $3,600,409.

In  October  1985,  the  Partnership was admitted,  with  an  85%
general  partner interest, to a Pennsylvania general partnership,
which  owned a 54-room hotel located in Washington, D.C.,  for  a
cash  capital  contribution  of  $1,820,100.   The  Partnership's
interest was subsequently reduced to 69% when an affiliate of the
Partnership  acquired a 19% interest.  The lender  foreclosed  in
1993.

In   October   1985,  the  Partnership  purchased  a  three-story
building,  consisting  of  29 residential  apartments  and  9,500
square  feet  of  commercial space, for a cash  consideration  of
$1,320,883.

In  October  1985,  the  Partnership was admitted,  with  an  85%
general  partner  interest,  to a Maryland  general  partnership,
which  owns a building located in Baltimore, Maryland, consisting
of  240  residential units and 41,307 square feet  of  commercial
space,  for  a  cash  capital contribution  of  $7,271,300.   The
Partnership subsequently purchased an additional 5% interest  for
$262,500.

NOTE F- COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Pursuant to certain agreements, the developers of and lenders  to
the properties are entitled to share in the following:

1.   15% of net cash flow from operations (one property), and 15%
     to  50%  of  net  cash  flow from operations  above  certain
     specified amounts (two properties);

2.   10%  to 45% of the net proceeds, as defined, of the sale  of
     the  respective  properties (three properties).   Generally,
     the  Partnership  is entitled to a priority distribution  of
     the   net  proceeds  of  sale  prior  to  any  payments   to
     developers.

J.  A.  Jones  Construction  Company  ("Jones")  contracted  with
Factor's  Walk Partners ("FWP"), a subsidiary of the Partnership,
for  the renovation of what was originally a warehouse, into  the
River  Street  Inn/Factor's Walk.  During construction,  numerous
disputes  arose  between  the parties.   As  a  result  of  those
disputes,  Jones  abandoned the project prior to  completion  and
filed  suit  in the matter of J.A. Jones Construction Company  v.
Factor's  Walk Partners in the United States District  Court  for
the  Northern District of Georgia.  On January 1, 1994, the court
entered  a  judgment  in favor of Jones and against  FWP  in  the
amount of $1,069,017.  The judgment accrued interest at 9.5%  and
$62,562 of interest was accrued in both 1995 and 1994.  FWP filed
an  appeal  which  was  held  in abeyance  while  FWP  and  Jones
participated  in  a  court  sponsored  settlement  program.    On
November  8, 1996, a settlement agreement was reached  whereby  a
note in the amount of $1,000,000 was issued.  The note calls  for
6% interest until September 1, 1997, with the rate increasing .5%
on  each  August  1  thereafter to a maximum  of  prime  plus  2%
(therefore,  7% at December 31, 1999) and is due  on  October  1,
2011.   Interest  is  due quarterly with the  first  payment  due
September 1, 1997.

NOTE G - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
