                    PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Item 1.        Financial Statements.

             Consolidated Balance Sheets - September 30, 1996
             (unaudited) and December 31, 1995

             Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements  (unaudited)

Item 2.        Management's Discussion and Analysis of
               Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

               (1)  Liquidity

                     As  of  September 30, 1996, Registrant had  total
unrestricted  cash  of $64,531.  This balance is comprised  of  $3,504
held by the Registrant and $61,027 which is held by the properties  in
which  the  Registrant  holds  a majority  interest.   The  Registrant
expects  that  the $61,027 plus the cash generated from operations  at
each  property  and  sales  of  the units  at  Commerce  Mall  General
Partnership ("CMGP") will be sufficient to fund the operating expenses
of  the  properties.  The Registrant is not aware  of  any  additional
sources of liquidity.

                      As   of  September  30,  1996,  Registrant   had
restricted  cash  of $180,098 consisting primarily of  funds  held  as
security  deposits,  replacement reserves and escrows  for  taxes  and
insurance.  As a consequence of the restrictions as to use, Registrant
does not deem these funds to be a source of liquidity.

                    During 1994, the Registrant converted the property
(Henderson  Riverfront Apartments) owned by 700 Commerce Mall  General
Partnership,  a Louisiana general partnership in which the  Registrant
owns  a  95%  interest,  into condominiums  ("the  Units")  and  began
offering the Units for sale.  As of September 30, 1996, 52 of  the  61
units  have  been sold with 6 sales occurring in the third quarter  of
1996.

                       Historic   Restoration   Inc.   ("HRI"),    the
Registrant's  co-general  partner  in  CMGP,  is  to  be  paid  a  10%
conversion  fee (the "Conversion fee") on the sale of any Unit  at  or
above  the  agreed-upon sales price.  Such fee  is  payable  upon  the
closing  of  the  sale of each Unit, provided that the Conversion  Fee
from  the sale of the first 30 units has been deferred and is  payable
as follows:

                     (i)       $125,000 at the closing of the sale  of
the 31st Unit

                                              (ii)     the   remaining
                              portion (the "Remainder") at the rate of
                              5%  of  the Remainder at the closing  of
                              the sale of each of the 42nd through the
                              61st Units

In October 1995, the 31st Unit was sold and, accordingly, the $125,000
became  due.  Of such amount, $100,000 has been paid.  In April  1996,
the  42nd Unit was sold, and accordingly, payments with respect to the
Remainder  commenced.  During the first nine months of 1996,  $104,521
of  the Remainder has been paid to HRI  The $25,000 from the first  31
units  which  has  not  yet been paid to HRI is included  in  accounts
payable  - related party.  The remaining $127,461 related to the  sale
of  the  first 31 units is included in restricted cash.  In  addition,
HRI is paid a selling commission equal to 3.5% of the selling price of
each  Unit.  Commissions paid to HRI during the third quarters of 1996
and 1995 were $18,372 and $11,988, respectively.

               (2)  Capital Resources

                     Due  to the relatively recent rehabilitations  of
the   properties,  any  capital  expenditures  needed  are   generally
replacement  items  and  are funded out of  cash  from  operations  or
replacement reserves, if any.  At the Henderson Apartments, funds will
be necessary during the selling period for improvements and repairs to
common  areas, individual unit upgrades, marketing, selling costs  and
fees.  During the third quarter of 1996 and 1995, these expenses  were
approximately  $26,724 and $32,994, respectively, and were  funded  by
sales  proceeds.  It is anticipated that any additional  funds  needed
will  be available from the proceeds of sales.  Other than the  above,
the  Registrant  is  not  aware  of  any  factors  which  would  cause
historical capital expenditure 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  the  third  quarter of  1996,  Registrant
incurred  a  net loss of $80,322 ($9.60 per limited partnership  unit)
compared to income of $17,609 ($2.11 per limited partnership unit) for
the  same  period  in 1995.  For the first nine months  of  1996,  the
Registrant  incurred  a  net  loss  of  $83,536  ($9.98  per   limited
partnership  unit) compared to income of $181,101 ($21.64 per  limited
partnership unit) for the same period in 1995.

                     Rental  income decreased $29,510 from $79,595  in
the  third quarter of 1995 to $50,085 in the same period in  1996  and
decreased $123,811 from $293,241 for the first nine months of 1995  to
$169,430  in  the same period in 1996.  The decrease in rental  income
for  the third quarter and the first nine months of 1995 from the same
periods in 1995 is mainly the result of a decrease at Henderson due to
the  sale  of Units.  Additionally, rental income increased  at  Brass
Works for the first nine months of 1996 as compared to the same period
in 1995 due to an increase in average occupancy.

                     Interest income increased $19,388 from $34,378 in
the  third quarter of 1995 to $53,766 in the same period in  1996  and
increased  $60,377  from $82,159 for the first  nine  months  1995  to
$142,536 in the same period in 1996.  The increase for both the  third
quarter  and  the first nine months of 1996 from the same  periods  in
1995  is  the  result  of  an  increase in interest  earned  on  notes
receivable.

                    Expense for rental operations decreased by $33,855
from  $110,463  in the third quarter of 1995 to $76,608  in  the  same
period  in  1996.  The decrease for the third quarter  from  the  same
period  in  1995  is  the result of an overall decrease  in  operating
expenses at the Henderson due to the sale of Units partially offset by
an  increase in commissions, wages and salaries at Locke Mill  and  an
increase in maintenance expense at Brass Works, as discussed below.

                     Expense for rental operations decreased by $8,043
from  $281,227 for the first nine months 1995 to $273,184 in the  same
period  in 1996.  The decrease for the first nine months of 1996  from
the  same  period  in  1995 is the result of an  overall  decrease  in
operating  expenses at the Henderson due to the sale of  Units  and  a
decrease in maintenance expense at Brass Works partially offset by  an
increase  in  commissions,  wages  and  salaries  at  Locke  Mill,  as
discussed below.

                     General  and  administrative  expenses  increased
$20,000 from $81,000 for the first nine months 1995 to $101,000 in the
same  period in 1996.  The increase is due to fees paid in  the  first
quarter  of 1996 to reimburse the General Partner for certain services
rendered.  None were paid in 1995.

                     Depreciation  and amortization expense  decreased
$17,712  from $47,821 in the third quarter of 1995 to $30,109  in  the
same  period in 1996 and decreased $39,292 from $140,906 for the first
nine months 1995 to $101,614 in the same period in 1996.  The decrease
for  the third quarter and the first nine months of 1996 from the same
periods  in  1995  is  due  to  the sale of  Units  at  the  Henderson
Apartments  resulting  in  a lower balance on  which  depreciation  is
calculated.

                      Losses  incurred  during  the  quarter  at   the
Registrant's three properties amounted to $36,000, compared to  income
of approximately $53,000 for the same period in 1995.  Included in the
third  quarter  of 1996 and 1995 is a loss of $50,000 and  a  gain  of
$89,000,  respectively, related to the sale of Units.  For  the  first
nine  months  of  1996, the Registrant recognized  income  of  $23,000
compared  to  approximately $280,000 for  the  same  period  in  1995.
Included in income in the first nine months of 1996 and 1995 are gains
of $80,000 and $309,000, respectively, related to the sale of Units

                     In the third quarter of 1996, Registrant incurred
a  loss  of  $27,000 at The Henderson Apartments including  $8,000  of
depreciation  expense,  compared to income of  $57,000  in  the  third
quarter  of 1995, including $21,000 of depreciation expense.  Included
in  the third quarter of 1996 and 1995 is a loss of $50,000 and a gain
of  $89,000,  respectively, related to the sale  of  Units.   Overall,
exclusive  of the loss or gain resulting from the sale of  Units,  the
property would have recognized income of $20,000 in the third  quarter
of 1996 compared to a loss of $32,000 in the same period on 1995.  The
increase in net income is the result of an increase in interest income
and  an overall decrease in operating expenses partially offset  by  a
decrease in rental income and an increase in legal fees.  The increase
in  interest income is the result of an increase in interest earned on
the  notes  receivable.  The decrease in rental income  and  operating
expenses and the increase in legal fees is due to the sale of Units.

                     For  the  first  nine months of 1996,  Registrant
recognized  income  of  $45,000 at the Henderson Apartments  including
$34,000  of depreciation, compared to income of $301,000 for the  same
period  of 1995, including $70,000 of depreciation expense.   Included
in  income  for the first nine months of 1996 and 1995  are  gains  of
$80,000  and  $309,000, respectively, related to the  sale  of  Units.
Overall,  exclusive of the gain resulting from the sale of Units,  the
property  would have recognized a loss of $35,000 for the  first  nine
months  of  1996 compared to $8,000 in the same period on  1995.   The
increase in the loss is the result of a decrease in rental income  and
an  increase in legal fees partially offset by an increase in interest
income  and a decrease in operating expenses.  The decrease in  rental
income and operating expenses and the increase in legal fees is due to
the  sale of Units.  The increase in interest income is the result  of
an increase in interest earned on the notes receivable.

                     In the third quarter of 1996, Registrant incurred
a loss of $6,000 at the Brass Works, including $12,000 of depreciation
expense,   compared  to  a  loss  of  $4,000  including   $12,000   of
depreciation  expense in the first quarter of 1995.  The  increase  in
the loss for the third quarter of 1996 from the same period in 1995 is
due  to  an  increase in maintenance expense due  to  repairs  on  the
heating unit in the third quarter of 1996.

                     For  the  first  nine months of 1996,  Registrant
incurred  a  loss of $17,000 at the Brass Works, including $36,000  of
depreciation  expense,  compared to a loss of  $28,000  for  the  same
period  in  1995,  including  $36,000 of  depreciation  expense.   The
decrease  in the loss for the first nine months of 1996 from the  same
period  in  1995 is due to increase rental income and  a  decrease  in
maintenance  expense.  Rental income increased due to an  increase  in
average  occupancy in first nine months (87% to 90%)  and  maintenance
decreased due to deferred maintenance completed in the second  quarter
of 1995.

                     In the third quarter of 1996, Registrant incurred
a  loss  of  $3,000  at  the  Locke Mill Plaza,  including  $6,000  of
depreciation  expense, compared to income of $0  including  $6,000  of
depreciation  expense in the third quarter of 1995 and for  the  first
nine  months  of 1996, Registrant incurred a loss of $5,000  including
$19,000 of depreciation expense, compared to income of $7,000 for  the
same  period in 1995, including $19,000 of depreciation expense.   The
decrease  in net income for both the third quarter and the first  nine
months  in  1996  from the same periods in 1995 is the  result  of  an
increase  in  commissions, wages and salaries due to a change  in  the
management company in September 1995.
