                             PART I

Item 1.  Business

     Raines Road, L.P. ("Registrant"), is a Delaware limited
partnership organized on December 16, 1988, pursuant to the
provisions of the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act,
Sections 17-101-17-1109, Title 6.  The General Partner of
Registrant is 222 Raines, Ltd., a Tennessee limited partnership,
whose general partners are Steven D. Ezell, Michael A. Hartley and
222 Partners, Inc.

     The Registrant's primary business is to acquire, develop and
sell certain undeveloped real properties located in Memphis,
Tennessee (the "Property").  The Registrant's investment objectives
are preservation of capital and capital appreciation through the
passage of time, growth in the surrounding areas, and the
development of the Property prior to resale.

Financial Information about Industry Segments

     The Registrant's activity is within one industry segment and
geographical area.  Therefore, financial data relating to the
industry segment and geographical area is included in Item 6 - 
Selected Financial Data.

Narrative Description of Business

     At December 31, 1996, the Registrant was holding approximately
230 acres of partially developed land on Raines Road in Memphis,
Tennessee, adjacent to the Memphis International Airport.  The
Property is zoned for a wide variety of light industrial,
warehouse, office-warehouse and distribution uses.  All utilities,
including water, sewer, electricity and natural gas, are available
to the Property.

     Phase I of the infrastructure development was completed in
1990 and included construction and improvement of Prescott Road. 
The total cost was approximately $460,000.  Phase II was completed
in 1992 and consists of extending Raines Road 5,000 feet from
Prescott Road through the Property to Tchulahoma Road.  Phase II
also included clearing and rough-grading 168 acres of the Property
and removing 1.25 million cubic yards of dirt.  The cost of Phase
II was approximately $1 million.  The Registrant is negotiating
with the City government to receive final development approval for
Phase III.  Development will begin as soon as approval is received. 
Phase III includes construction and improvement of Tchulahoma Road
through a portion of the Property.  It is the General Partners'
intention at this time to only improve Tchulahoma Road as sites
contiguous to it are sold.  This development is expected to cost
approximately $235,000, which had been retained from the sale
proceeds.  During 1994, approximately $95,000 was spent and the
remaining cash is retained an escrow account.  

Competition

     The general partner believes that the Property provides strong
competition for purchasers or developers of land in the Memphis
Airport Area.  There are a number of tracts of competitive
industrial land in the area, though there are very few large vacant
parcels available.  Primary competition comes from three industrial
parks in the Airport sub-market, each offering similar pricing to
the Registrant. The general partner believes that the Property is
competitive due to its location, access and low cost to develop.

     The majority of the proceeds used to purchase the Property
were from a $4,700,000 promissory note (the "Lender Financing")
maturing on December 31, 2001 to Raines Lenders, L.P. (the
"Lender"), an affiliated partnership sharing the same general
partner.  The principal balance accrues interest at a simple
interest rate of 12% per annum.  Prior to maturity, the Registrant
is not required to make any payments with respect to the Lender
Financing, except upon the sale, exchange or condemnation of all or
any portion of the Property.  From sale proceeds, the Lender
receives a priority return of interest and principal, and 50% of
the "Net Revenues", if any.  Net revenues, as defined by the
participating Loan Agreement, represent the difference between cash
proceeds earned and the following, in this order: 1) accrued but
unpaid interest and applicable principal balances; 2) accrued
preferred return (12% on the net offering proceeds of the
Registrant:  and 3) the applicable equity balance.  From property
sales in 1990, 1991 and 1994, the cumulative applicable principal
balance due to the Lender is $1,196,180 and is payable from future
sale proceeds, after all accrued interest is paid.

     The Registrant has no employees.  Program management services
are being provided under a contractual agreement with Landmark
Realty Services Corporation, an affiliate of the general partner.

Item 2.  Properties

     As of December 31, 1996, Registrant owned approximately 230
acres of partially developed land in Memphis, Tennessee.  See Item
1 above for more detailed description.  Registrant is subject to a
first mortgage held by Raines Lenders, L.P., an affiliated
partnership sharing the same general partner.

Item 3.  Legal Proceedings

     Registrant is not a party to, nor is any of Registrant's
property the subject of, any material legal proceedings.

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

     The security holders of Registrant did not vote on any matter
during the fiscal year covered by this report.
<PAGE>
                             PART II

Item 5.  Market for Registrant's Units of Limited Partnership
Interest and Related Security Holder Matters

     There is no established market for the Units, and it is not
anticipated that any will exist in the future.  The Registrant
commenced an offering to the public on April 3, 1989 for 1,875
Units of Limited Partnership Interests.  The offering of $1,875,000
was fully subscribed on September 12, 1989.  As of February 28,
1997, there were 181 holders of record of the 1,875 Units of
Limited Partnership Interests.

     There were no distributions made to Unit holders during 1996
and 1995.  There are no material restrictions upon Registrant's
present or future ability to make distributions in accordance with
the provisions of Registrant's Limited Partnership Agreement, other
than the obligations to C.I.O.S. and Raines Lenders, L.P., as
described below.

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

Results of Operations

Sales

     There were no sales during 1996 and 1995.  In 1994, the
Registrant sold approximately 36 acres for gross proceeds of $1.9
million.  Proceeds were used to fund required development, reduce
the note payable to C.I.O.S. and make a $600,000 payment in 1995 on
accrued interest to the Lender.  The Registrant took a short term
note receivable for $646,400 as partial payment of sale proceeds. 
All principal and accrued interest was received in full on February
10, 1995.

Comparative Analysis

     Except for the land sales in 1994, the overall operations of
the Registrant have not changed significantly over the last three
years, although there have been some fluctuations within accounts. 
The fluctuations in interest income is due to the Registrant's
changing cash balances.  The average cash balances were $85,870,
$559,756, and $414,185 in 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. 
Interest expense has decreased due to the changes in principal on
the note payable - private.  The Registrant incurred $5,478,
$36,028 and $50,074 in 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively, in
interest on the note payable private.  The decline in property
taxes from 1994 to 1995 is due to land sales and from 1995 to 1996
is due to property reassessments.  Consulting services have
increased due to costs associated with Phase III development.  Loan
costs were fully amortized in the second quarter of 1996 explaining
the decline in amortization expense.  The decrease in land
maintenance fees is caused by additional 1994 costs incurred when
preparing for the sales.

Financial Condition and Liquidity

     The Registrant has sufficient cash balances to fund the
required development and operations for 1997.  

     In 1990, 1991 and 1994, the Registrant retained a portion of
the sale proceeds for development and operations and did not use
all the proceeds to make interest or principal payments to the
Lender.  During the first quarter of 1995, the Registrant paid
$600,000 to the Lender in interest from the 1994 sale proceeds.  An
interest payment of $1,027,454 was made to Lender from the 1991 net
proceeds.  The Registrant's and Lender's joint general partner
believes that using sales proceeds for development and distributing
only net available cash to the Lender was contemplated by the loan
agreement.  However, the loan agreement is ambiguous on this use of
funds; therefore, this treatment could constitute a default on the
loan agreement.  In such an event the Lender is required to
foreclose the loan and accelerated the amounts due.  Currently, the
Lender has not foreclosed or accelerated the amounts due under the
loan agreement.  

     From property sales in 1990, 1991 and 1994, the cumulative
Applicable Principal balance due to the Lender is $1,196,180 and is
payable from future sale proceeds, after all accrued interest is
paid.

     As of January 1, 1996, the Registrant adopted Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be
Disposed Of," which requires impairment losses to be recognized for
long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment
are present and the undiscounted cash flows are not sufficient to
recover the assets' carrying amount.  The impairment loss is
measured by comparing the fair value of the asset to its carrying
amount.  The adoption of SFAS No. 121 did not have a material
effect on the Registrant's financial statements.

                  Independent Auditors' Report

The Partners
Raines Road, L.P.:

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Raines Road,
L.P. (a limited partnership) as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and
the related statements of operations, partners' deficit, and cash
flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December
31, 1996.  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, the financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Raines
Road, L.P. at December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the results of its
operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-
year period ended December 31, 1996, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

As discussed in Note 1, the Partnership adopted the provisions of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 121,
"Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-
Lived Assets to be Disposed Of" on January 1, 1996.

                  Notes to Financial Statements

                   December 31, 1995 and 1994

(1)  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

     (a)  Organization

          Raines Road, L.P. (the Partnership) is a Delaware limited
          partnership organized on December 16, 1988 to acquire
          several contiguous, undeveloped tracts of land in
          Memphis, Tennessee for the purpose of developing and
          selling parcels of real estate.  The General Partner is
          222 Raines, Ltd., whose general partners are Steven D.
          Ezell, Michael A. Hartley, and 222 Partners, Inc.  The
          Partnership prepares financial statements and income tax
          returns on the accrual method of accounting.  The
          financial statements include only those assets,
          liabilities and results of operations which relate to the
          Partnership.

     (b)  Estimates

          Management of the Partnership has made estimates and
          assumptions to prepare these financial statements in
          accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. 
          These estimates include the determination of the
          estimated fair value of the Partnership's land and
          improvements in accordance with the provisions of SFAS
          No. 121.  Actual results could differ from those
          estimates.

     (c)  Cash and Cash Equivalents

          The Partnership considers all short-term investments with
          original maturities of three months or less at the date
          of purchase to be cash equivalents.

          Cash belonging to the Partnership is combined in an
          account with funds from other partnerships related to the
          general partner.

     (d)  Land and Improvements Held for Investment

          Land and improvements held for investment is recorded at
          cost and includes approximately 230 acres in 1996 and
          1995.  Interest expense on the note payable to affiliate,
          insurance and property taxes are capitalized as carrying
          costs of the property during the development period.

                  Notes to Financial Statements

                   December 31, 1995 and 1994

(1)  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
          
          Costs to hold land, including interest, insurance, and
          property taxes are charged to expense once the develop- 
          ment of the property is substantially complete.  Land
          improvement costs incurred and capitalized include
          development costs expended subsequent to the acquisition
          of a tract of land.

          The Partnership adopted the provisions of Statement of
          Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 121,
          "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and
          for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of" on January 1,
          1996.  SFAS No. 121 requires that long-lived assets to be
          disposed of be reported at the lower of the carrying
          amount or fair value less estimated costs to sell.  The
          fair value of the assets can be determined externally,
          using appraisals, or internally using discounted future
          net cash flows.  If such assets are considered impaired,
          the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount
          by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the
          fair value of the assets less estimated costs to sell. 
          Impairment is recognized through the establishment of an
          allowance for impairment with a corresponding charge to
          operations.  Losses upon the sale of the assets are
          charged to the allowance.  Based upon management's
          analysis of discounted future net cash flows, the
          Partnership's land and improvements held for investment
          does not meet definitions of impairment under SFAS No.
          121.  Accordingly, land held for investment is recorded
          at cost with no allowance for impairment necessary.  The
          adoption of SFAS No. 121 did not have an impact on the
          Partnership's financial position, results of operations,
          or liquidity.

     (e)  Loan Costs

          Loan costs were amortized by the straight-line method
          over the two year term of the note payable - private.

     (f)  Income Taxes

          No provision has been made in the financial statements
          for Federal or state income taxes, since such taxes are
          the responsibilities of the partners.

                   December 31, 1995 and 1994

(1)  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

          Annually, the Partners receive, from the Partnership, IRS
          Form K-1's, which provide them with their respective
          share of taxable income or losses, deductions, and
          othertax related information.  The only difference
          between the tax basis and reported amounts of the
          Partnership's assets and liabilities relates to the
          valuation of land held for investment.  For income tax
          purposes certain costs were capitalized as additional
          land improvement costs.  

     (g)  Partnership Allocations

          Net profits, losses and distribution of cash flow of the
          Partnership are allocated to the Partners in accordance
          with the Partnership agreement as follows:

          Partnership net profits are allocated first to any
          partner with a negative balance in their capital account,
          determined at the end of the taxable year as if the
          Partnership had distributed cash flow, in proportion to
          the negative capital balance account of all partners
          until no partner's capital account is negative.  Net
          profit allocations are then made to the limited partners
          up to the difference between their capital account
          balances and the sum of their adjusted capital
          contributions (capital balance, net of cumulative cash
          distributions in excess of preferred returns - 12% annual
          cumulative return on capital contributed).  Any remaining
          net profit allocations are then made to the limited
          partners until the taxable year in which cumulative
          profits to the limited partners equal their adjusted
          capital contribution plus an unpaid preferred return (12%
          annual cumulative return on capital contributed).  Net
          profits are then allocated to the general partner until
          the ratio of the general partner's capital account
          balance to the capital account balances, in excess of
          adjusted capital contributions and unpaid preferred
          return, of all limited partners is 27 to 73.  Thereafter,
          profits are generally allocated 27% to the general
          partner and 73% to the limited partners.  Net losses are
          allocated to the partners in proportion to their positive
          capital accounts.

          Partnership distributions are allocated 99% to the
          limited partners and 1% to the general partner in an
          amount equal to their preferred return (12% annual,
          cumulative return on capital contributed), 99% to the

          limited partners and 1% to the general partner until the
          limited partners have received an amount equal to their
          adjusted capital contributions, and then 73% to the
          limited partners and 27% to the general partner.

     (h)  Reclassifications

          Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to
          conform with the current year presentation.

(2)  Related Party Transactions

     The General Partner and its affiliates have been actively
     involved in managing the Partnership.  Affiliates of the
     General Partner receive fees and commissions for performing
     certain services.  Expenses incurred for these services are as
     follows:

                                    1996        1995        1994

Real estate sales commission         -           -        76,176

(3)  Restricted Cash

     At December 31, 1996 and 1995, the Partnership had restricted
cash balances of $156,241 and $155,687, respectively, to be used to
fund property improvements consisting of road and utility work.

(4)  Land and Improvements Held for Investment

     The components of land and improvements held for investment at
December 31, are as follows:
                                    1996        1995
Land and carrying costs     $  4,826,846   4,826,846
Land improvements              1,030,015   1,029,380

                            $  5,856,861   5,856,226

Aggregate cost of land and improvements held for investment for
federal income tax purposes was $7,641,267 and $7,101,355 at
December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

                  Notes to Financial Statements

(5)  Note Payable - Affiliate

     The note payable to affiliate represents a $4,700,000 note
     payable to Raines Lenders, L.P. (Lender), an affiliate sharing
     the same General Partner.  The note accrues simple interest at
     an annual rate of 12% plus additional interest equal to 50% of
     "net revenues", as defined in the Participating Loan
     Agreement.  The note is secured by a mortgage on land and
     improvements held for investment by the Partnership and by a
     security interest in any cash reserves or investment
     securities held by the Partnership.  Interest and principal
     payments become due upon the sale of the collateral or any
     portion thereof to the extent cash is available, but no later
     than December 31, 2001.

     In 1991 and 1990, the Partnership sold a total of 44.8 acres
     of land receiving net proceeds of $1,110,524 and $963,328,
     respectively.  An interest payment of $1,027,454 was made to
     the Lender from the 1991 net proceeds.  There were no sales of
     land in 1993 or 1992.  During 1994, the Partnership sold two
     tracts of land totaling approximately 36.5 acres receiving net
     cash proceeds of $229,448.  In 1996 and 1995, there were no
     sales of land and an interest payment of $600,000, was made to
     the Lender in 1995.

     Due to anticipated future requirements for additional
     development and operations, the Partnership retained proceeds
     from these sales and did not pay additional amounts of
     interest and/or applicable principal balance to the Lender. 
     The Partnership's and Lender's joint general partner believes
     that retaining sales proceeds for development and distributing
     only net available cash to the Lender was contemplated by the
     note agreement.  However, the note agreement does not
     explicitly authorize this use of funds; therefore, this
     treatment could constitute a default on the note agreement. 
     In such an event, Lender is required to foreclose the note and
     accelerate the amounts due.  To date, the Lender has not
     foreclosed or accelerated the amounts due under the note
     agreement.  At December 31, 1996 and 1995, the applicable
     principal balance due to Lender is $1,196,180.

     Interest expense associated with the note payable to affiliate
     in 1996, 1995, and 1994 was $564,000, $571,834, and $571,833,
     respectively.

(6)  Note Payable - Private

     The note payable represented the funding of $1,100,000 under
     a two year term loan commitment from C.I.O.S., a Tennessee
     charitable trust.  The note accrued simple interest at an
     annual rate of 12%.  The note matured on May 5, 1996 and was
     paid in full. <PAGE>

                  Notes to Financial Statements

(7)  Fair Value of Financial Instruments

     At December 31, 1996 and 1995, the Partnership had financial
     instruments including cash and cash equivalents, restricted
     cash, accrued interest payable, accounts payable, accrued
     property taxes, and notes payable.  The carrying amounts of
     cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts payable,
     and accrued property taxes approximate their fair value
     because of the short maturity of those financial instruments.

     The determination of the estimated fair values of the note
     payable and the related accrued interest payable to affiliate
