ITEM 5: ACQUISITION OF FACILITIES

During the period from October 1, 1997 to December 31, 1997, Storage Trust 
Realty (the Company) completed the acquisition of six self-storage facilities
through Storage Trust Properties L.P. (the "Operating Partnership"), a 
imited partnership controlled by the Company as its sole general partner and 
in which the Company holds a 94.74% ownership interest as of December 31,1997.  
These facilities, totaling approximately 344,000 net rentable square 
feet, are located in two states, and were purchased for approximately
$21,117,000.

All of the facilities were acquired in arms-length transactions and there 
are no material relationships between any of the sellers and the Company, 
the Operating Partnership, any other affiliate of the Company, any trustee 
or officer of the Company or any associate of any trustee or officer of the 
Company.  

Management of the Company determined the purchase price through arms-length 
negotiations, after taking into consideration such factors as the geographic 
location of the properties, demographics of the market areas, age and 
condition of the facilities, the projected amounts of maintenance costs and 
capital improvements, the current revenues of the facilities, comparable 
facilities competing in the applicable markets, rental rates and occupancy 
levels for the facilities and competing facilities, and the estimated amount
of taxes, utility costs, personnel costs, and other anticipated expenses.

Each of the facilities has been used by the sellers as a self-storage 
facility prior to their acquisition by the Company, and the Company intends 
to continue the use of all of those facilities for that purpose. 

These facilities were acquired for cash.
	
The cash for these acquisitions was provided from the net proceeds from the 
sale of 2,530,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock that occurred in 
October and November 1997.

	     PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The following unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statements of Operations for 
the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996 have been prepared to reflect the 
acquisition of six self-storage facilities during the period from October 1, 
1997 to December 31, 1997 (the "Acquired Facilities") and the other adjustments 
described in the accompanying notes.  The pro forma consolidated financial 
information is based on the historical consolidated financial statements and 
other financial information in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 1997 and the 1997 Annual Report to Shareholders, and should be
read in conjunction with those financial statements and the notes thereto.  

The Pro Forma Consolidated Statements of Operations were prepared as if 
(a) the Acquired Facilities were purchased on January 1, 1996 or the date 
operations commenced, whichever was later, (b) other facilities acquired 
during 1996 and 1997 (see Notes 3 and 4 in the Notes to Pro Forma Consolidated 
Financial Statements) were purchased on January 1, 1996, (c) the Company 
completed the offering of 4,140,000 Common Shares, which occurred in July 
1996, (the "1996 Share Offering") on January 1, 1996, (d) the Company completed
the offering of 2,530,000 Common Shares which occurred in October and
November 1997,(the"1997 Share Offering") and (e) the Company completed the 
funding of $100 million of unsecured Senior Notes on January 1, 1996.

The pro forma consolidated financial information is not necessarily indicative 
of the financial position or results of operations which actually would have 
occurred if such transactions had been consummated on the dates described, 
nor does it purport to represent the Company's future financial position or 
results of operations.  

Net income per share decreased for the pro forma years ended December 31, 
1997 and 1996 as compared to the actual results for these time periods due 
primarily to the fact that (a) the operations of five other facilities 
acquired during 1997 were in their initial lease-up period, (b) one of the 
Acquired Facilities commenced operations in July 1997 and was in its initial 
lease-up period and (c) one facility acquired during 1997 was undergoing a 
significant expansion that opened in June 1996.
