ITEM 1.  BUSINESS

The  Registrant,  Dean Witter Realty Income Partnership  IV,
L.P. (the "Partnership"), is a limited partnership formed in
October  1986 under the Uniform Limited Partnership  Act  of
the State of Delaware for the purpose of investing primarily
in    income-producing   office,   industrial   and   retail
properties.

The  Managing  General Partner of the  Partnership  is  Dean
Witter  Realty Fourth Income Properties Inc. (the  "Managing
General  Partner"), a Delaware corporation which  is  wholly
owned  by Dean Witter Realty Inc. ("Realty").  The Associate
General Partner is Dean Witter Realty Income Associates  IV,
L.P.  (the "Associate General Partner"), a Delaware  limited
partnership,  the general partner of which is  the  Managing
General  Partner.  The Managing General Partner manages  and
controls  all  aspects of the business of  the  Partnership.
The  terms of transactions between the Partnership  and  its
affiliates are set forth below in Note 6 to the consolidated
financial statements in Item 8 and in Item 13.

The  Partnership issued 304,437 units of limited partnership
interest  (the "Units") for $152,218,500.  The offering  has
been terminated and no additional Units will be sold.

The  proceeds  from the offering were used  to  make  equity
investments  in four office properties.  One investment  was
sold in 1996, one sold in 1997 and, in 1998, the Partnership
entered  into an agreement to sell a third investment.   The
properties are described below in Item 2.

The  partnership which owns Taxter Corporate Park, currently
plans to market the property for sale during 1998, with  the
objective of completing a sale of the property by the end of
1998.   There is no assurance that the Partnership  will  be
able to achieve this objective.

The  Partnership  considers  its  business  to  include  one
industry  segment,  investment in real property.   Financial
information   regarding   the   Partnership   is   in    the
Partnership's financial statements in Item 8 below.

The  Partnership's real property investments are subject  to
competition  from  similar  types  of  properties   in   the
vicinities  in which they are located.  Further  information
regarding  competition  and  market  conditions  where   the
Partnership's properties are located is set forth in Item  7
below.

The Partnership has no employees.

All of the Partnership's business is conducted in the United
States.

ITEM 2.  PROPERTIES

The Partnership's principal offices are located at Two World
Trade  Center,  New York, New York, 10048.  The  Partnership
has no other offices.

As  of  December  31,  1997, the Partnership  owned  through
partnership interests the following two property  interests,
none of which is encumbered by indebtedness.  Generally, the
leases   pertaining   to   the   properties   provide    for
pass-throughs  to  the tenants of their  pro-rata  share  of
certain  operating expenses.  In the opinion of the Managing
General  Partner,  all  of  the  properties  are  adequately
covered by insurance.

ITEM 3.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

On  December 27, 1995, a purported class action lawsuit (the
"Grigsby   Action")  naming  various  public   real   estate
partnerships sponsored by Realty (including the  Partnership
and  its  Managing  General Partner  and  Associate  General
Partner),  Realty,  Dean Witter Reynolds  Inc.  ("DWR")  and
others  as  defendants  was  filed  in  Superior  Court   in
California.    The   complaint  alleged   fraud,   negligent
misrepresentation,  intentional  and  negligent  breach   of
fiduciary  duty,  unjust enrichment and related  claims  and
sought  compensatory  and punitive  damages  in  unspecified
amounts  and  injunctive and other  equitable  relief.   The
defendants  removed the case to the United  States  District
Court for the Southern District of California.  Pursuant  to
an  order  of  the  U.S.  District Court  for  the  southern
District  of  California entered May 24, 1996,  the  Grigsby
Action  was transferred to the U.S. District Court  for  the
Southern  District of New York.  The case was  dismissed  by
stipulation  of the parties dated March 6, 1997 and  refiled
and  consolidated with the Consolidated Action  (as  defined
below).

On  February 14, 1996, a purported class action lawsuit (the
"Schectman  Action")  naming  various  public  real   estate
partnerships sponsored by Realty (including the  Partnership
and  its  Managing  General Partner), Realty,  Dean  Witter,
Discover  & Co. ("DWD") and DWR as defendants was  filed  in
the  Chancery Court of Delaware for New Castle  County  (the
"Delaware  Chancery  Court").   On  February  23,  1996,   a
purported  class action lawsuit (the "Dosky Action")  naming
various public real estate partnerships sponsored by  Realty
(including   the   Partnership  and  its  Managing   General
Partner),  Realty,  DWD, DWR and others  as  defendants  was
filed in the Delaware Chancery Court.  On February 29, 1996,
a purported class action lawsuit (the "Segal Action') naming
various public real estate partnerships sponsored by  Realty
(including   the   Partnership  and  its  Managing   General
Partner),  Realty,  DWR, DWD and others  as  defendants  was
filed in the Delaware Chancery Court.  On March 13, 1996,  a
purported  class action lawsuit (the "Young Action")  naming
the  partnership,  other unidentified limited  partnerships,
DWD,  DWR and others as defendants was filed in the  Circuit
Court  for  Baltimore  City  in  Baltimore,  Maryland.   The
defendants  removed the Young Action to  the  United  States
District Court for the District of Maryland.

Thereafter, the Schectman Action, the Dosky Action  and  the
Segal  Action  were  consolidated in a  single  action  (the
"Consolidated Action") in the Delaware Chancery Court.   The
Young   Action   was  dismissed  without   prejudice.    The
plaintiffs  in  the  Young  Action joined  the  Consolidated
Action.

On  October  7,  1996,  the plaintiffs in  the  Consolidated
Action  filed a First Consolidated and Amended Class  Action
Complaint  naming  various public real  estate  partnerships
sponsored  by  Realty  (including the  Partnership  and  its
Managing  General Partner), Realty, DWD, DWR and  others  as
defendants.  This complaint alleges breach of fiduciary duty
and seeks an accounting of profits, compensatory damages  in
an   unspecified   amount,  possible  liquidation   of   the
Partnership  under  a  receiver's  supervision   and   other
equitable relief.  The defendants filed a motion to  dismiss
this complaint on December 10, 1996.

ITEM 4.  SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

No  matter  was submitted during the fourth quarter  of  the
year to a vote of Unit holders.

                       PART II.

ITEM  5.   MARKET  FOR THE REGISTRANT'S  COMMON  EQUITY  AND
RELATED
        STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

An  established public trading market for the Units does not
exist,  and  it is not anticipated that such a  market  will
develop  in the future. Accordingly, information as  to  the
market  value of a Unit at any given date is not  available.
However,  the  Partnership does allow its  limited  partners
(the  "Limited  Partners")  to transfer  their  Units  if  a
suitable buyer can be located.

As  of  March, 17, 1998, therewere 16,788 holders of limited
partnership interests.

The  Partnership is a limited partnership and,  accordingly,
does  not  pay dividends.  It does, however, make  quarterly
distributions  of  cash to its partners.   Pursuant  to  the
partnership  agreement, distributable cash, as  defined,  is
paid  90%  to  the Limited Partners and 10% to  the  general
partners (the "General Partners").

During  the  year  ended December 31, 1997, the  Partnership
paid  quarterly  cash distributions aggregating  $6,377,908,
with $5,740,052 ($18.85 per Unit) distributed to the Limited
Partners and $637,856 to the General Partners.  In addition,
the  Partnership distributed $32,881,031 ($108.01 per  Unit)
and  $14,737,795  ($48.41 per Unit) respectively,  from  its
share  of  the net proceeds from the sales of the Technology
Park  Reston office park and Pasadena Financial Center.  The
sales  proceeds  distributions were  paid  100%  to  Limited
Partners.   On  August 28, 1997, the Partnership  paid  cash
distribution from cash reserves aggregating $2,114,145  with
$1,902,731  ($6.25  per Unit), distributed  to  the  Limited
Partners and $211,414 to the General Partners.

During  the  year  ended December 31, 1996, the  Partnership
paid  quarterly  cash distributions aggregating  $8,032,230,
with  $7,229,007  ($23.75 per Unit) distributed  to  Limited
Partners and $803,223 to the General Partners.

On January 28, 1998, the Partnership paid the fourth quarter
1997 distribution of $1,238,044, with $1,114,240 ($3.66  per
Unit)  distributed to the Limited Partners and  $123,804  to
the General Partners.

Future cash distribution levels will fluctuate based on cash
flow generated by the Partnership's remaining properties and
proceeds received from property sales.

Sale  or  financing  proceeds will be  distributed,  to  the
extent  available,  first, to each  Limited  Partner,  until
there  has  been  a return of the Limited Partner's  capital
contribution  plus cumulative distributions of distributable
cash   and  sale  or  refinancing  proceeds  in  an   amount
sufficient to provide a 9% cumulative annual return  on  the
Limited    Partner's    adjusted    capital    contribution.
Thereafter, any remaining sale or financing proceeds will be
distributed  85%  to the Limited Partners  and  15%  to  the
General Partners after the Managing General Partner receives
a brokerage fee, if earned, of up to 3% of the selling price
of any equity investment.

Taxable  income  generally will be  allocated  in  the  same
proportions as distributions of distributable cash  or  sale
or financing proceeds (except that the General Partners must
be  allocated at least 1% of taxable income from the sale or
financing).  In the event there is no distributable cash  or
sale or financing proceeds, taxable income will be allocated
90% to the Limited Partners and 10% to the General Partners.
Any  tax  loss will be allocated 90% to the Limited Partners
and 10% to the General Partners.

The  above financial data should be read in conjunction with

ITEM  7.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION
          RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Partnership raised $152,218,500 in a public offering  of
304,437 units which was terminated in 1988.  The Partnership
has no plans to raise additional capital.

The  Partnership made four investments in partnerships which
own  or owned interests in properties, on an all-cash basis.
One of such partnerships sold its property interest in 1996,
another  sold  its property interest in 1997,  and  a  third
entered  into an agreement to sell its property interest  in
1998.   The  Partnership's  acquisition  program  has   been
completed.  No additional investments are planned.

In 1997, limited speculative construction and the strong job
growth,  especially in the business services and  technology
industries,  resulted in strong performance  in  the  office
sector.  Tenant competition for a shrinking amount of office
space  had  a positive influence on rental rates  and  lease
terms.    Favorable  market  fundamentals   led   to   value
appreciation   as  investors  bid  for  office   properties.
Investors,   including  institutional,  foreign   and   REIT
investors,  have  been  buying  office  buildings  in   many
markets.

On  April 10, 1997, Lake Colorado Associates, L.P., in which
Pasadena  Lake  Associates, L.P. is an 85% general  partner,
sold  the land and the building of Pasadena Financial Center
for  $26.7  million.   The Partnership  (which  owns  a  56%
interest in Pasadena Lake Associates, L.P.) shared  the  net
sales  proceeds of approximately $14.7 million, and  all  of
the sales proceeds ($48.41 per Unit) were distributed to the
Limited  Partners  in  April  1997.   Cash  flow  from  this
property  (net of minority interest) was approximately  $2.6
million in 1997.

Pursuant  to  a  Purchase and Sale  Agreement  dated  as  of
February 10, 1998, the partnership (in which the Partnership
has  a  41.2% general partnership interest) which  owns  the
Chesterbrook Corporate Center agreed to sell the property to
FV Office Partners, L.P., an unaffiliated party.  See Note 5
to the consolidated financial statements in Item 8.

The  partnership which owns Taxter Corporate Park  currently
plans to market the property for sale during 1998, with  the
objective of completing a sale of the property by the end of
1998.   There is no assurance that the partnership  will  be
able to achieve this objective.

The  Partnership's  liquidity depends upon  cash  flow  from
operations of its investments in joint ventures and required
contributions   for   building   improvements   and   tenant
improvements and leasing commissions in connection with  the
leasing  of  vacant space. In 1997, all of the Partnership's
property  investments  generated  positive  cash  flow  from
operations, and it is anticipated that they will continue to
do so in 1998.

In  addition, the Partnership's liquidity has been and  will
be  affected  by the sale of properties. As the  Partnership
has  fewer  income-producing investments,  Partnership  cash
from   operations   will  decline,   as   will   Partnership
distributions.  The Partnership will also require less  cash
reserves   to   fund   capital  expenditures   and   leasing
commissions.

Future cash distribution levels will fluctuate based on cash
flow generated by the Partnership's remaining properties and
proceeds received from property sales.

In   1997,   distributions  to  investors   (excluding   the
distribution  of proceeds from the sales of  the  Technology
Park  Reston  office  park  and  Pasadena  financial  Center
properties), capital expenditures and contributions to joint
ventures   exceeded   cash   flow   from   operations    and
distributions  from  joint  ventures.   This  shortfall  was
funded  from  cash reserves.  The Managing  General  Partner
believes   cash   reserves  will  be  sufficient   for   the
Partnership's future needs.

In  1997,  the Partnership contributed $226,000 and $265,000
respectively, for its share of capital expenditures  at  the
Chesterbrook and Taxter joint ventures.

As  of December 31, 1997, the Partnership had commitments to
fund   approximately  $1,665,000,  its  share   of   capital
expenditures, primarily to the Chesterbrook joint venture.

Except  as discussed above and in the consolidated financial
statements, the Managing General Partner is not aware of any
trends or events, commitments or uncertainties that may have
a material impact on liquidity.

The  decrease  in  deferred leasing  commissions  and  other
assets is due to the elimination of these assets as a result
of  the  sales  of the Technology Park Reston  property  and
Pasadena Financial Center property.

On  January 28 1998 the Partnership paid the fourth quarter,
1997 distribution of $3.66 per Unit to the Limited Partners.
The  total  cash  distribution amounted to $1,238,044,  with
$1,114,240 distributed to the Limited Partners and  $123,804
to the General Partners.

Operations

Fluctuations in the Partnership's operating results for  the
year  ended December 31, 1997 compared to 1996 and for  1996
compared   to  1995  are  primarily  attributable   to   the
following:

Rental  income, property operating expenses and depreciation
and amortization expenses decreased in 1997 compared to 1996
due  to  the  December 31, 1996 sale of the Technology  Park
Reston  office park and the April 10, 1997 sale of  Pasadena
Financial Center.  Rental income was higher in 1996 than  in
1995  primarily due to increased rental income  at  Pasadena
Financial Center.

The gains on sales of real estate resulted from the property
sales described above.

No  individual factor accounted for a significant portion of
the decrease in equity in earnings of joint ventures in 1997
compared  to  1996.   The  increase in  equity  in  earnings
(losses)  of  joint ventures in 1996 compared  to  1995  was
primarily   attributable  to  the  $16  million   impairment
writedown in 1995 on the Chesterbrook property.

Interest and other income increased in 1997 compared to 1996
primarily due to the interest received on the investment  of
the  cash  proceeds  from the sales of the  Technology  Park
Reston   office  park  and  the  Pasadena  Financial  Center
properties  until such proceeds were distributed to  Limited
Partners on January 31 and April 28, 1997, respectively.

Property operating expenses were lower in 1995 than in  1996
primarily  due  to  a  real estate tax  refund  received  at
Pasadena Financial Center in 1995.

Depreciation and amortization decreased in 1996 compared  to
1995  primarily due to the $7.8 million impairment writedown
of  Pasadena  Financial Center in the fourth of  quarter  of
1995.

No  individual factor accounted for a significant portion of
the  decrease in general and administrative expenses in 1997
compared to 1996.

A   summary  of  the  markets  in  which  the  Partnership's
properties are located and the performance of each  property
is as follows:

The   office  market  in  Valley  Forge,  Pennsylvania,  the
location  of  the Chesterbrook Corporate Center,  has  shown
continued  improvement with rental rates rising and  limited
availability  of larger space.  Market vacancy  improved  to
less  than 10%.  At December 31, 1997 the property was  100%
leased to 29 tenants, compared to 99% at the prior year-end.
The average occupancy during 1997 was 99%.  The lease of Dun
&  Bradstreet (for approximately 12% of total space) expires
in  year  1999; the leases of Philadelphia Electric  Company
(for approximately 15% of total space) and Aetna Health Plan
(for  approximately 12% of total space) expire in year 2000.
There are no other significant tenants.  The Partnership has
entered into an agreement to sell this property.  See Note 5
to the consolidated financial statements.

The   overall  vacancy  level  in  the  office   market   in
Westchester  County,  New  York,  the  location  of   Taxter
Corporate  Park,  decreased from 24% to 17%  in  1997.   The
vacancy  level in the west Westchester market in  which  the
building  is  located  is currently  11%,  reflecting  a  4%
absorption  in  1997  over  the prior  year.   During  1997,
average occupancy at the property was approximately 99%, and
at  December 31, 1997, the property was 100% occupied.   The
property  is leased to 21 tenants.  KLM Royal Dutch Airlines
owns a long-term leasehold in approximately 20% of the space
at  the  property.   The  lease  of  Fuji  Photo  Film  (for
approximately 28% of the property's space) expires  in  year
2001.   No  other  tenants  occupy  more  than  10%  of  the
property.

Inflation

Inflation  has  been  consistently low  during  the  periods
presented in the financial statements and, as a result,  has
not  had  a  significant  effect on the  operations  of  the
Partnership or its properties.

Independent Auditors' Report




To The Partners of
Dean Witter Realty Income Partnership IV, L.P.:


We  have audited the accompanying consolidated balance  sheets
of   Dean  Witter  Realty  Income  Partnership  IV,  L.P.  and
consolidated partnerships (the "Partnership") as  of  December
31, 1997 and 1996, and the related consolidated statements  of
operations, partners' capital, and cash flows for each of  the
three  years  in  the period ended December  31,  1997.  These
financial   statements   are   the   responsibility   of   the
Partnership's management.  Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

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

In our opinion, such consoldiated financial statements present
fairly,  in  all material respects, the financial position  of
Dean   Witter   Realty  Income  Partnership   IV,   L.P.   and
consolidated  partnerships as of December 31, 1997  and  1996,
and  the results of their operations and their cash flows  for
each  of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1997
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

Dean   Witter   Realty   Income   Partnership   IV,   L.P.   (the
"Partnership") is a limited partnership organized under the  laws
of  the  State of Delaware in 1986 to invest primarily in income-
producing   office,  industrial  and  retail   properties.    The
Partnership  is  managed  by  Dean Witter  Realty  Fourth  Income
Properties Inc. (the "Managing General Partner").

In 1987 and 1988, the Partnership issued 304,437 units of limited
partnership   interest  (the  "Units")  for   $152,218,500.    No
additional Units will be sold. The proceeds of the offering  were
used  to  make investments in income-producing office  properties
which were not encumbered by debt.

2.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Partnership and its majority-controlled subsidiaries,  Technology
Park Associates and Lake Colorado Associates, the former owner of
Pasadena Financial Center.

The  Partnership's 40.6% general partnership interest  in  Taxter
Corporate  Park  and 41.2% general partnership  interest  in  the
partnership which owns interests in Chesterbrook Corporate Center
are accounted for on the equity method.

The Partnership's records are maintained on the accrual basis  of
accounting  for  financial  reporting  and  tax  purposes.    The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with  generally
accepted  accounting  principles  requires  management  to   make
estimates  and  assumptions that affect the reported  amounts  of
assets  and  liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets  and
liabilities  at  the  date of the financial  statements  and  the
reported  amounts of revenues and expenses during  the  reporting
period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash  and  cash  equivalents consist of cash  and  highly  liquid
investments with maturities, when purchased, of three  months  or
less.

The  carrying  value of real estate includes the  purchase  price
paid by the Partnership and acquisition fees and expenses.  Costs
of  improvements to the properties are capitalized,  and  repairs
are  expensed.   Depreciation is recorded  on  the  straight-line
method.
At  least annually, and more often if circumstances dictate,  the
Partnership  evaluates the recoverability  of  the  net  carrying
value  of  its  real estate (including that held by its  investee
partnerships)  and  any  related  assets.   As   part   of   this
evaluation, the Partnership assesses, among other things, whether
there has been a significant decrease in the market value of  any
of  its properties.  If events or circumstances indicate that the
net  carrying  value  of a property may not be  recoverable,  the
expected  future net cash flows from the property  are  estimated
for a period of approximately five years (or a shorter period  if
the  Partnership  expects that the property may  be  disposed  of
sooner),  along with estimated sales proceeds at the end  of  the
period.   If  the total of these future undiscounted  cash  flows
were  less than the carrying amount of the property, the property
would  be  written down to its fair value as determined (in  some
cases  with  the  assistance of outside real estate  consultants)
based  on  discounted  cash  flows,  and  a  loss  on  impairment
recognized by a charge to earnings.

Because the determination of fair value is based upon projections
of  future  economic  events  such as property  occupancy  rates,
rental  rates, operating cost inflation and market capitalization
rates  which  are  inherently subjective, the amounts  ultimately
realized  at  disposition  may differ  materially  from  the  net
carrying value as of December 31, 1997.  The cash flows  used  to
evaluate  the  recoverability of the properties and to  determine
fair  value  are  based on good faith estimates  and  assumptions
developed  by the Managing General Partner. Unanticipated  events
and   circumstances  may  occur  and  some  assumptions  may  not
materialize;  therefore,  actual  results  may  vary   from   the
estimates and the variances may be material.  The Partnership may
provide  additional  write-downs,  which  could  be  material  in
subsequent  years  if  real  estate  markets  or  local  economic
conditions change.

Deferred  leasing commissions are amortized over  the  applicable
lease terms.

Rental income is accrued on a straight-line basis over the  terms
of  the  leases. Accruals in excess of amounts payable by tenants
pursuant  to  their  leases (resulting from rent  concessions  or
rents  which periodically increase over the term of a lease)  are
recorded as receivables and included in other assets.

Net income (loss) per Unit amounts are calculated by dividing net
income  (loss) allocated to Limited Partners, in accordance  with
the  Partnership  Agreement, by the weighted  average  number  of
Units outstanding.

No  provision  for  income taxes has been made in  the  financial
statements  since the liability for such taxes  is  that  of  the
partners rather than the Partnership.

The  accounting  policies used for tax reporting purposes  differ
from   those  used  for  financial  reporting  as  follows:   (a)
depreciation is calculated using accelerated methods; (b)  rental
income is recognized based on the payment terms in the applicable
leases; and (c) writedowns for impairment of real estate are  not
deductible.   In addition, offering costs are treated differently
for  tax and financial reporting purposes.  The tax basis of  the
Partnership's assets and liabilities is approximately $24 million
higher   than  the  amounts  reported  for  financial   statement
purposes.

The  Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB")  has  recently
issued several new accounting pronouncements.  Statement No. 130,
"Reporting   Comprehensive  Income"  establishes  standards   for
reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components.
Statement  No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an  Enterprise
and  Related Information" establishes standards for the way  that
public  business  enterprises report information about  operating
segments  in annual financial statements and requires that  those
enterprises report selected information about operating  segments
in  interim  financial reports issued to shareholders.   It  also
establishes  standards for related disclosure about products  and
services,  geographic  areas, and  major  customers.   These  two
standards  are   effective for the Partnership's  1998  financial
statements, but the Partnership does not believe that  they  will
have  any effect on the Partnership's computation or presentation
of net income or other disclosures.

The  implementation in 1997 of FASB Statement No. 128,  "Earnings
per  Share"  and  Statement No. 129, "Disclosure  of  Information
about  Capital  Structure" effective for the  Partnership's  1997
year-end  financial statements did not have  any  impact  on  the
Partnership financial statements.

3.  Partnership Agreement

The  Partnership Agreement provides that distributable  cash,  as
defined, will be paid 90% to the Limited Partners and 10% to  the
General   Partners.    Sale  or  financing   proceeds   will   be
distributed,  to  the extent available, first,  to  each  Limited
Partner,  until there has been a return of the Limited  Partner's
capital    contribution   plus   cumulative   distributions    of
distributable cash and sale or refinancing proceeds in an  amount
sufficient  to  provide  a 9% cumulative  annual  return  on  the
Limited Partner's adjusted capital contribution.  Thereafter, any
remaining sale or financing proceeds will be distributed  85%  to
the  Limited Partners and 15% to the General Partners  after  the
Managing General Partner receives a brokerage fee, if earned,  of
up to 3% of the selling price of any equity investment.

Taxable income generally is allocated in the same proportions  as
distributions of distributable cash or sale or financing proceeds
(except  that the General Partners must be allocated at least  1%
of  taxable income from sales or financings).  In the event there
is  no  distributable cash or sale or financing proceeds, taxable
income  is allocated 90% to the Limited Partners and 10%  to  the
General  Partners.  Any tax loss is allocated 90% to the  Limited
Partners and 10% to the General Partners.

All  distributions paid to Limited Partners during 1997, 1996 and
1995 represented returns of capital, calculated as the excess  of
cash distributed per Unit over accumulated earnings per Unit  not
previously distributed.

4.  Real Estate

Pasadena Financial Center

The  Partnership  owns  a  56% general  partnership  interest  in
Pasadena   Lake   Associates  ("PLA");  the   remaining   general
partnership  interest in PLA is held by LS  Lake  Associates,  an
affiliate  of  the  Managing General Partner.  PLA  owns  an  85%
general partnership interest in Lake Colorado Associates ("LCA");
the  remaining general partnership interest in LCA is held by  an
affiliate of the original seller of the property ("PFC").

On April 10, 1997, LCA sold the property to an unaffiliated party
for $26,700,000.  The sale price was received in cash at closing.
The  Partnership  received approximately $14.7  million  of  such
cash, representing its 56% share of the cash received by PLA, net
of   closing   costs.   In  accordance  with  LCA's   partnership
agreement,  all  of the income, gain and cash from  the  property
were allocated to PLA.  The Partnership distributed the net sales
proceeds ($48.41 per Unit), 100% to Limited Partners.

In  1995,  the  Partnership concluded that, based  on  a  revised
expectation  as  to  the  holding period  of  Pasadena  Financial
Center,   the   Partnership  would  be  unable  to  recover   its
investment.  Accordingly, the Partnership wrote the property down
to fair value (based on an independent appraisal) and recorded  a
loss  on  impairment of approximately $7.8 million ($4.4  million
after minority interest).

Technology Park Reston

The  Partnership  owns  a  65% general  partnership  interest  in
Technology  Park  Associates ("TPA"), which  owned  three  office
buildings  in  the  Technology  Park  Reston  office  park.   The
remaining general partnership interest is held by an affiliate of
the  Partnership, Dean Witter Realty Income Partnership III,  LP.
The  partners received cash flow and profits and losses according
to their percentage ownerships interests.

On  December  31,  1996,  TPA and an affiliate  of  the  Managing
General  Partner  (the  "Affiliate"),  which  owned  the   fourth
building  at  the  property,  sold  the  office  park  to  Sprint
Communications Company, L.P., which was the sole  tenant  at  the
property,   for   a   negotiated  sales  price  of   $76,300,000.
$51,483,000  of  the  sales  price  was  allocated  to  TPA   and
$24,817,000 was allocated to the Affiliate, based on the relative
square footage of the buildings each owned at the property.

The  sale price was received in cash at closing.  The Partnership
received $32,881,031 of such cash, representing its 65% share  of
the  cash received by TPA, net of closing costs.  The Partnership
distributed  the net sales proceeds ($108.01 per Unit),  100%  to
Limited Partners.

5. Investments in Joint Ventures

Chesterbrook Corporate Center, Valley Forge, Pennsylvania

In   1987,   the  Partnership  and  Dean  Witter  Realty   Income
Partnership  III, L.P. (through a partnership), and an  affiliate
of  the Managing General Partner acquired 41.2%, 26.7% and  32.1%
interests,  respectively,  in  DWR Chesterbrook  Associates,  the
general partnership which owns the property. The partners receive
cash flow and profits and losses according to their interests.

Pursuant  to  a Purchase and Sale Agreement dated as of  February
10, 1998, DWR Chesterbrook Associates agreed to sell the property
to  an  unaffiliated party. As part of the Agreement, Dean Witter
Realty Income Partnership III, L.P. and Dean Witter Realty Income
Partnership  II,  L.P.  agreed to sell certain  properties.   The
aggregate   sale  price  of  the  properties  to   be   sold   is
approximately $173 million, of which $129,362,500 is allocated in
the  Agreement  to Chesterbrook Corporate Center.   The  purchase
price  is payable in cash at closing, which is expected to  occur
in  the  second quarter.  Cash flow of the Chesterbrook Corporate
Center  was  approximately $9.3 million in  1997.   The  carrying
value  of  the  Partnership's investment is  approximately  $26.4
million at December 31, 1997.

In  1995,  the  general  partners in DWR Chesterbrook  Associates
concluded  that the property's value was impaired.   Accordingly,
in  accordance  with its policy for evaluating the recoverability
of  its real estate, which is the same as the Partnership's,  DWR
Chesterbrook  Associates recorded a loss  on  impairment  of  the
property of approximately $38.9 million.  The Partnership's share
of  this loss (approximately $16 million) was included in  equity
in earnings (losses) of joint ventures in 1995.

Taxter Corporate Park, Westchester County, New York

The general partnership which owns the property is owned 40.6% by
the Partnership.  Dean Witter Realty Income Partnership II, L.P.,
and  Dean  Witter Realty Income Partnership III,  L.P.,  own  the
remaining  interests. The partners receive cash flow and  profits
and losses according to their interests.

6. Related Party Transactions

An  affiliate  of the Managing General Partner provided  property
management  services  for  Taxter  Corporate  Park  and  Pasadena
Financial  Center (until Pasadena Financial Center  was  sold  in
1997)  and  for five buildings at Chesterbrook Corporate  Center.
The  Partnership   paid   the   affiliate  management   fees   of
approximately $125,000, $161,000 and $172,000 for the years ended
December  31,  1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively.  These  amounts
are included in property operating expenses.

Another  affiliate  of  the  Managing  General  Partner  performs
administrative  functions,  processes investor  transactions  and
prepares  tax  information for the Partnership.  The  Partnership
incurred  approximately $276,000, $400,000 and $402,000 for  such
services  in each of the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996  and
1995.   These  amounts are included in general and administrative
expenses.

As  of  December 31, 1997, the affiliates were owed approximately
$18,000 in total for these services.

7. Litigation

Various public partnerships sponsored by Dean Witter Realty  Inc.
(including the Partnership and its Managing General Partner)  are
defendants in a number of class action lawsuits pending in  state
and  federal courts.  The complaints allege a variety of  claims,
including breach of fiduciary duty, fraud, misrepresentation  and
related  claims,  and  seek compensatory and  other  damages  and
equitable relief.  The defendants intend to vigorously defend the
actions.  It  is impossible to predict the effect,  if  any,  the
outcome   of  these  actions  might  have  on  the  Partnership's
financial statements.

8. Distributions After Year-End

On January 28, 1998 the Partnership paid the fourth quarter, 1997
distribution  of  $3.66  per Unit to the Limited  Partners.   The
total  cash  distribution amounted to $1,238,044, with $1,114,240
distributed  to the Limited Partners and $123,804 to the  General
Partners.

ITEM     13.                                              CERTAIN
RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

As  a  result  of  their being partners of a limited  partnership
which  is  the Limited Partner of the Associate General  Partner,
certain current and former officers and directors of the Managing
General  Partner also own indirect general partnership  interests
in the Partnership.  The Partnership Agreement of the Partnership
provides  that cash distributions and allocations of  income  and
loss  to  the General Partners shall be distributed or  allocated
50%  to  the  Managing General Partner and 50% to  the  Associate
General   Partner.    The  General  Partners'   share   of   cash
distributions and income or loss is described in Item 5 above.

All  of  the  outstanding shares of common stock of the  Managing
General Partner are owned by Realty, a Delaware corporation which
is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Morgan Stanley, Dean Witter & Co.
The  general  partner  of the Associate General  Partner  is  the
Managing  General Partner. The limited partner of  the  Associate
General  Partner is LSA 87 L.P., a Delaware limited  partnership.
Realty  and certain current and former officers and directors  of
the  Managing  General  Partner  are  partners  of  LSA  87  L.P.
Additional   information  with  respect  to  the  directors   and
executive  officers  and  compensation of  the  Managing  General
Partner and affiliates is contained in Items 10 and 11 above.

The  General Partners and their affiliates were paid certain fees
and reimbursed for certain expenses.  Information concerning such
fees   and  reimbursements  is  contained  in  Note  6   to   the
Consolidated   Financial  Statements  in  Item   8   above.   The
Partnership   believes  that  the  payment  of   fees   and   the
reimbursement  of  expenses  to the General  Partners  and  their
affiliates  are on terms as favorable as would be  obtained  from
unrelated third parties.

Independent Auditors' Report



To The Partners of
DWR Chesterbrook Associates


We   have  audited  the  accompanying  balance  sheets   of   DWR
Chesterbrook  Associates  (the  "Partnership")  as  of   December
31,  1997  and  1996, and the related statements  of  operations,
partners'  capital,  and  cash  flows  for  each  of  the   three
years   in   the   period  ended  December   31,   1997.    These
financial    statements   are   the   responsibility    of    the
Partnership's  management.   Our  responsibility  is  to  express
an   opinion   on  these  financial  statements  based   on   our
audits.

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

In  our  opinion,  such financial statements present  fairly,  in
all   material   respects,   the  financial   position   of   DWR
Chesterbrook  Associates  as  of  December  31,  1997  and  1996,
and  the  results  of  its  operations and  its  cash  flows  for
each  of  the  three  years  in the  period  ended  December  31,
1997   in   conformity   with   generally   accepted   accounting
principles.

                NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.  Organization

DWR   Chesterbrook  Associates  (the  "Partnership")  was  formed
in  1987  under  the  laws of the Commonwealth  of  Pennsylvania,
to  purchase  eight  of  nine office  buildings,  a  parking  lot
and   75   acres   of   underlying  land  in   the   Chesterbrook
Corporate   Center   in   Valley   Forge,   Pennsylvania.     The
buildings  consist  of  621,271 net rentable  square  feet.   The
property is not encumbered by debt.

The   general   partners  of  the  Partnership  are  Chesterbrook
Investment  Partners,  L.P. (67.9%)  (which  is  owned  60.7%  by
Dean  Witter  Realty Income Partnership IV,  L.P.  and  39.3%  by
Dean   Witter   Realty   Income  Partnership   III,   L.P.)   and
Duportail Investment Partners, L.P. (32.1%).

The   Partnership  Agreement  provides  that   all   cash   flow,
profits,   losses  and  credits  of  the  Partnership  shall   be
allocated  in  proportion  to  the  Partners'  original   capital
contributions.

Pursuant  to  a  Purchase  and Sale Agreement  (the  "Agreement")
dated  as  of  February  10,  1998,  the  Partnership  agreed  to
sell  the  property to an unaffiliated party.   As  part  of  the
Agreement,  Dean  Witter  Realty  Income  Partnership  III,  L.P.
and   Dean   Witter  Realty  Income  Partnership  II,  L.P.,   an
affiliated   partnership,  agreed  to  sell  certain  properties.
The  aggregate  sale  price  of the  properties  to  be  sold  is
approximately   $173   million,   of   which   $129,362,500    is
allocated  in  the  Agreement to Chesterbrook  Corporate  Center.
The  purchase  price  is payable in cash  at  closing,  which  is
expected to occur in the second quarter of 1998.

2.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The   Partnership's  records  are  maintained  on   the   accrual
basis   of   accounting   for   financial   reporting   and   tax
purposes.    The   preparation   of   financial   statements   in
conformity   with   generally  accepted   accounting   principles
requires  management  to  make  estimates  and  assumptions  that
affect  the  reported  amounts  of  assets  and  liabilities  and
disclosure  of  contingent assets and  liabilities  at  the  date
of   the  financial  statements  and  the  reported  amounts   of
revenues  and  expenses  during  the  reporting  period.   Actual
results could differ from those estimates.
Cash  and  cash  equivalents consist of cash  and  highly  liquid
investments  with  maturities, when purchased,  of  three  months
or less.

The   carrying  value  of  real  estate  includes  the   purchase
price   paid  by  the  Partnership  and  acquisition   fees   and
expenses.    Costs   of  improvements  to  the   properties   are
capitalized,   and   repairs  are  expensed.    Depreciation   is
recorded on the straight-line method.

At  least  annually,  and  more often if  circumstances  dictate,
the   Partnership  evaluates  the  recoverability  of   the   net
carrying  value  of  its  real estate  and  any  related  assets.
As  part  of  this  evaluation, the Partnership  assesses,  among
other  things,  whether  there has been  a  significant  decrease
in  the  market  value of any of its properties.   If  events  or
circumstances  indicate  that  the  net  carrying  value   of   a
property  may  not  be  recoverable,  the  expected  future   net
cash  flows  from  the property are estimated  for  a  period  of
approximately   five   years  (or  a  shorter   period   if   the
Partnership  expects  that  the  property  may  be  disposed   of
sooner),  along  with  estimated sales proceeds  at  the  end  of
the  period.   If  the  total of these future  undiscounted  cash
flows  were  less  than  the carrying  amount  of  the  property,
the  property  would  be  written  down  to  its  fair  value  as
determined  (in  some  cases  with  the  assistance  of   outside
real  estate  consultants) based on discounted  cash  flows,  and
a loss on impairment recognized by a charge to earnings.

Because   the   determination  of  fair  value  is   based   upon
projections   of   future  economic  events  such   as   property
occupancy  rates,  rental  rates, operating  cost  inflation  and
market  capitalization  rates which  are  inherently  subjective,
the   amounts  ultimately  realized  at  disposition  may  differ
materially  from  the  net  carrying value  as  of  December  31,
1997.  The  cash  flows  used to evaluate the  recoverability  of
the  assets  and  to  determine fair  value  are  based  on  good
faith   estimates  and  assumptions  developed  by  the   general
partners.   Unanticipated  events  and  circumstances  may  occur
and  some  assumptions  may  not  materialize;  therefore  actual
results  may  vary  from the estimates and the variances  may  be
material.    The   Partnership  may  provide  additional   write-
downs,  which  could  be material, in subsequent  years  if  real
estate markets or local economic conditions change.

Deferred    leasing   commissions   are   amortized   over    the
applicable lease terms.

Rental  income  is  accrued  on a straight-line  basis  over  the
terms  of  the  leases.  Accruals in excess  of  amounts  payable
by   tenants  pursuant  to  their  leases  (resulting  from  rent
concessions  or  rents  which  periodically  increase  over   the
term  of  a  lease) are recorded as receivables and  included  in
other assets.

No  provision  for  income taxes has been made in  the  financial
statements  since the liability for such taxes  is  that  of  the
partners rather than the Partnership.

The   accounting   policies  used  for  tax  reporting   purposes
differ  from  those  used  for financial  reporting  as  follows:
(a)   depreciation  is  calculated  using  accelerated   methods;
(b)  rental  income  is  recognized based on  the  payment  terms
in  the  applicable leases; (c) payments made by  the  seller  of
the  property  in  prior  years under a  rental  income  guaranty
were  accounted  for  as rental income; and  (d)  writedowns  for
impairment  of  real estate are not deductible.   The  tax  basis
of  the  Partnership's  assets and liabilities  is  approximately
$36.6  million  higher  than the amount  reported  for  financial
statement purposes.

The   Financial   Accounting   Standards   Board   ("FASB")   has
recently    issued   several   new   accounting   pronouncements.
Statement    No.    130,    "Reporting   Comprehensive    Income"
establishes    standards   for   reporting   and    display    of
comprehensive  income  and its components.   Statement  No.  131,
"Disclosures  about  Segments  of  an  Enterprise   and   Related
Information"  establishes  standards  for  the  way  that  public
business   enterprises   report   information   about   operating
segments  in  annual  financial  statements  and  requires   that
those    enterprises    report   selected    information    about
operating  segments  in  interim  financial  reports  issued   to
shareholders.    It  also  establishes  standards   for   related
disclosure   about  products  and  services,  geographic   areas,
and  major  customers.   These two standards  are  effective  for
the    Partnership's   1998   financial   statements,   but   the
Partnership  does  not  believe that they will  have  any  effect
on   the   Partnership's  computation  or  presentation  of   net
income or other disclosures.

The   implementation   in  1997  of  FASB  Statement   No.   128,
"Earnings  per  Share"  and Statement  No.  129,  "Disclosure  of
Information   about   Capital  Structure"   effective   for   the
Partnership's   1997  year-end  financial  statements   did   not
have any impact on the Partnership's financial statements.


3.  Real Estate

In  1995,  the  Partnership re-leased  a  substantial  amount  of
space  as  a  result  of the departure of the property's  largest
tenant,   which   had   occupied   approximately   36%   of   the
property's  space.   Although  office  vacancy  levels   in   the
suburban  Philadelphia  market  had  been  stagnant  for  several
years,  the  high  quality  of  the  Chesterbrook  property   had
made   it   possible  to  re-lease  substantially  all   of   the
vacated   space.    However,  at  the  time  of  the   re-leasing
market  rents  were  lower than previous rents  received  at  the
property,  which  were  expected  to  result  in  reduced  future
cash  flow  therefrom.   Also, because  of  its  amenities,  size
and  configuration,  the  Chesterbrook  property  had  been  able
to  command  a  rental  premium  over  other  properties  in  the
market;   however,   this   premium  was   substantially   eroded
because  of  the  continuing high vacancy in the  market.   As  a
result,   the  general  partners  of  the  Partnership  concluded
that  the  property's  value  was  impaired  and,  in  accordance
with  its  policy  for  evaluating  the  recoverability  of   its
real  estate,  the  Partnership wrote the property  down  to  its
fair  value  (based  on  an independent appraisal)  and  recorded
a loss on impairment of approximately $38.9 million in 1995.

4.  Related Party Transactions

An  affiliate  of  the  partners  co-manages  five  buildings  at
the  property.   The  Partnership paid the  affiliate  management
fees  of  approximately $62,000, $37,000  and  $63,000  in  1997,
1996 and 1995, respectively, for such services.

Another  affiliate  of  the  general partners  earned  a  fee  in
1987  for  the  acquisition of the properties in  the  amount  of
$4,258,703.  Of this amount, $1,413,167 remains unpaid.

Independent Auditors' Report



To The Partners of
Taxter Park Associates


We   have  audited  the  accompanying  balance  sheet  of  Taxter
Park Associates
(the  "Partnership")  as of December 31, 1997,  and  the  related
statements  of  operations, partners'  capital,  and  cash  flows
for   the   year  ended  December  31,  1997.   These   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.   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,  such financial statements present  fairly,  in
all  material  respects, the financial position  of  Taxter  Park
Associates  as  of  December 31, 1997, and  the  results  of  its
operations  and  its  cash  flows for  the  year  then  ended  in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                   TAXTER PARK ASSOCIATES
                              
                NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.  Organization

Taxter  Park  Associates the "Partnership") was  formed  in  1986
under   the   laws  of  the  State  of  New  York,   to   acquire
interests   in   the   Taxter  Corporate  Park   in   Westchester
County,   New  York.   The  buildings  consist  of  344,741   net
rentable  square  feet.   The  property  is  not  encumbered   by
debt.

The   general  partners  of  the  Partnership  are  Dean   Witter
Realty   Income  Partnership  II,  L.P.  (14.8%),   Dean   Witter
Realty  Income  Partnership III, L.P.  (44.6%)  and  Dean  Witter
Realty Income Partnership IV, L.P. (40.6%).

The   Partnership  Agreement  provides  that   all   cash   flow,
profits,   losses  and  credits  of  the  Partnership  shall   be
allocated  in  proportion  to  the  Partners'  original   capital
contributions.

2.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The   Partnership's  records  are  maintained  on   the   accrual
basis   of   accounting   for   financial   reporting   and   tax
purposes.    The   preparation   of   financial   statements   in
conformity   with   generally  accepted   accounting   principles
requires  management  to  make  estimates  and  assumptions  that
affect  the  reported  amounts  of  assets  and  liabilities  and
disclosure  of  contingent assets and  liabilities  at  the  date
of   the  financial  statements  and  the  reported  amounts   of
revenues  and  expenses  during  the  reporting  period.   Actual
results could differ from those estimates.

The   carrying  value  of  real  estate  includes  the   purchase
price   paid  by  the  Partnership  and  acquisition   fees   and
expenses.    Costs   of  improvements  to  the   properties   are
capitalized,   and   repairs  are  expensed.    Depreciation   is
recorded on the straight-line method.

At  least  annually,  and  more often if  circumstances  dictate,
the   Partnership  evaluates  the  recoverability  of   the   net
carrying  value  of  its  real estate  and  any  related  assets.
As  part  of  this  evaluation, the Partnership  assesses,  among
other  things,  whether  there has been  a  significant  decrease
in  the  market  value of any of its properties.   If  events  or
circumstances  indicate  that  the  net  carrying  value   of   a
property  may  not  be  recoverable,  the  expected  future   net
cash  flows  from  the property are estimated  for  a  period  of
approximately   five   years  (or  a  shorter   period   if   the
Partnership  expects  that  the  property  may  be  disposed   of
sooner),  along  with  estimated sales proceeds  at  the  end  of
the  period.   If  the  total of these future  undiscounted  cash
flows  were  less  than  the carrying  amount  of  the  property,
the  property  would  be  written  down  to  its  fair  value  as
determined  (in  some  cases  with  the  assistance  of   outside
real  estate  consultants) based on discounted  cash  flows,  and
a loss on impairment recognized by a charge to earnings.

Because   the   determination  of  fair  value  is   based   upon
projections   of   future  economic  events  such   as   property
occupancy  rates,  rental  rates, operating  cost  inflation  and
market  capitalization  rates which  are  inherently  subjective,
the   amounts  ultimately  realized  at  disposition  may  differ
materially  from  the  net  carrying value  as  of  December  31,
1997.  The  cash  flows  used to evaluate the  recoverability  of
the  assets  and  to  determine fair  value  are  based  on  good
faith   estimates  and  assumptions  developed  by  the  Managing
General  Partner.   Unanticipated events  and  circumstances  may
occur   and  some  assumptions  may  not  materialize;  therefore
actual  results  may vary from the estimates  and  the  variances
may   be   material.   The  Partnership  may  provide  additional
write-downs,  which  could be material, in  subsequent  years  if
real estate markets or local economic conditions change.

Deferred    leasing   commissions   are   amortized   over    the
applicable lease terms.

Rental  income  is  accrued  on a straight-line  basis  over  the
terms  of  the  leases.  Accruals in excess  of  amounts  payable
by   tenants  pursuant  to  their  leases  (resulting  from  rent
concessions  or  rents  which  periodically  increase  over   the
term  of  a  lease) are recorded as receivables and  included  in
other assets.

Cash  and  cash  equivalents consist of cash  and  highly  liquid
investments  with  maturities, when purchased,  of  three  months
or less.

No  provision  for  income taxes has been made in  the  financial
statements  since the liability for such taxes  is  that  of  the
partners rather than the Partnership.

The   accounting   policies  used  for  tax  reporting   purposes
differ  from  those  used  for financial  reporting  as  follows:
(a)   depreciation  is  calculated  using  accelerated   methods;
(b)  rental  income  is  recognized based on  the  payment  terms
in  the  applicable leases; (c) payments made by  the  seller  of
the  property  in  prior  years under a  rental  income  guaranty
were  accounted  for  as rental income; and  (d)  writedowns  for
impairment  of  real estate are not deductible.   The  tax  basis
of  the  Partnership's  assets and liabilities  is  approximately
$19  million  higher  than  the  amount  reported  for  financial
statement purposes.

The   Financial   Accounting   Standards   Board   ("FASB")   has
recently    issued   several   new   accounting   pronouncements.
Statement    No.    130,    "Reporting   Comprehensive    Income"
establishes    standards   for   reporting   and    display    of
comprehensive  income  and its components.   Statement  No.  131,
"Disclosures  about  Segments  of  an  Enterprise   and   Related
Information"  establishes  standards  for  the  way  that  public
business   enterprises   report   information   about   operating
segments  in  annual  financial  statements  and  requires   that
those    enterprises    report   selected    information    about
operating  segments  in  interim  financial  reports  issued   to
shareholders.    It  also  establishes  standards   for   related
disclosure   about  products  and  services,  geographic   areas,
and  major  customers.   These two standards  are  effective  for
the     Partnership's    1998    financial    statements.     The
Partnership  does  not  believe that  these  new  standards  will
have   any   effect   on   the   Partnership's   computation   or
presentation  of  net income or net income per  Unit  of  limited
partnership   interest,   or   its   disclosures    of    capital
structure.

The   implementation   in  1997  of  FASB  Statement   No.   128,
"Earnings  Per  Share"  and Statement  No.  129,  "Disclosure  of
Information   about   Capital  Structure",  effective   for   the
Partnership's  1997  year-end, did not have  any  impact  on  the
Partnership's financial statements.

3.  Lease Commitments

Minimum  future  rental  income  under  noncancellable  operating
leases as of December 31, 1997 is as follows:

               Total               $15,503,703
</TABLE>
The  Partnership  has  determined that  all  leases  relating  to
the   Property  are  operating  leases.   The  terms  range  from
three  to  ten  years, and generally provide  for  fixed  minimum
rents   with   rental  escalation  and/or  expense  reimbursement
clauses.

4.  Related Party Transactions

An  affiliate  of  the partners co-manages the buildings  at  the
property.    The   Partnership  paid  the  affiliate   management
fees  of  approximately $73,000, $61,000  and  $76,000  in  1997,
1996 and 1995, respectively, for such services.
