         Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
                              
1. The Partnership

Dean   Witter  Realty  Income  Partnership  I,   L.P.   (the
"Partnership") is a limited partnership organized under  the
laws  of  the  State of Delaware in 1983.  The Partnership's
fiscal year ends on October 31.

The  Partnership's interest in the Century  Square  property
(which  was sold in the second quarter of fiscal  1997)  was
accounted for on the equity method.

The  Partnership's  records are maintained  on  the  accrual
basis   of  accounting  for  financial  reporting  and   tax
purposes.

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

In  the  opinion  of management, the accompanying  financial
statements,  which  have  not  been  audited,  include   all
adjustments necessary to present fairly the results for  the
interim  period.  Except for gains on sales of real  estate,
such adjustments consist only of normal recurring accruals.

These  financial  statements should be read  in  conjunction
with  the  annual  financial statements  and  notes  thereto
included  in  the Partnership's annual report on  Form  10-K
filed  with the Securities and Exchange Commission  for  the
year  ended  October 31, 1997. Operating results of  interim
periods  may not be indicative of the operating results  for
the entire year.

2. Sales of Real Estate

On  December  8, 1997, the Partnership sold the Carmel  Park
property  to  an unaffiliated party for approximately  $17.7
million.  The Partnership recognized a gain on this sale  of
approximately $6.2 million, which was allocated 100% to  the
Limited   Partners  in  accordance  with   the   Partnership
Agreement.

On  December 23, 1997, the Partnership sold the Westwood  10
property  to  an  unaffiliated party for approximately  $9.4
million.  The Partnership recognized a gain on this sale  of
approximately       $3.0      million,       which       was

allocated  100%  to the Limited Partners in accordance  with
the Partnership Agreement.

On   November   26,   1997,   the  Partnership   distributed
approximately $4,538,000 ($48.91 per Unit), the net proceeds
from  the October 1997 sale of the Arlington Business Center
property.   The  distribution  was  paid  100%  to   Limited
Partners.

On   December   29,   1997,   the  Partnership   distributed
approximately  $26,065,000  ($280.93  per  Unit),  the   net
proceeds  from the sale of the Carmel Park and  Westwood  10
properties.   The distribution was paid 100% to the  Limited
Partners.

On  July  10,  1998,  the Partnership  sold  the  Harborgate
property  to  an unaffiliated party for $8.5  million.   The
Partnership  recognized a gain on this sale of approximately
$3.5  million,  which  was allocated  100%  to  the  Limited
Partners in accordance with the Partnership Agreement.   The
Partnership  received net sales proceeds from this  sale  of
approximately $8,046,000.  On July 23, 1998, the Partnership
distributed  approximately $7,046,000 of such proceeds  100%
to Limited Partners ($75.94 per Unit).

3. Related Party Transactions

An  affiliate  of  the  Managing  General  Partner  provided
property  management  services for  the  North  Lake  Plaza,
Carmel  Park  (sold  December 1997) and  Westwood  10  (sold
December  1997)  properties in 1998; the  affiliate  managed
five  properties in 1997. The Partnership paid the affiliate
management  fees  of  approximately $43,000 and $141,000 for
the  nine months ended July 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
These amounts are included in property operating expenses.

Another  affiliate of the Managing General Partner  performs
administrative   functions,   processes   certain   investor
transactions   and   prepares  tax   information   for   the
Partnership.  For the nine months ended July  31,  1998  and
1997,  the  Partnership incurred approximately $126,000  and
$181,000,  respectively, for these services.  These  amounts
are included in general and administrative expenses.

As  of  July 31, 1998, the affiliates were owed a  total  of
approximately $15,000 for these services.

         Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
                              
Through  January  31,  1995, the General  Partners  deferred
receipt  of  distributions aggregating $2,467,674  to  which
they  were  entitled; amounts deferred were charged  against
partners' capital and recorded as liabilities to the General
Partner.   The Partnership made the final payment  of  these
distributions  ($1,233,837) to the General Partners  in  the
first quarter of fiscal 1997.

4. Litigation

Various public partnerships sponsored by Dean Witter  Realty
Inc.  (including  the Partnership and its  Managing  General
Partner) were defendants in a class action lawsuit.  On July
17,   1998,   the  Delaware  Chancery  Court   granted   the
defendants' motion to dismiss the complaint in the  lawsuit.
The  Plaintiffs  filed a notice of appeal from  the  Court's
order.

ITEM 2.MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
       CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The  Partnership  raised $92,780,000 in  a  public  offering
which  was terminated in 1984.  The Partnership has no plans
to raise additional capital.

The  Partnership  purchased  six  properties  and  made  one
investment in the partnership which owned the Century Square
property on an all-cash basis. The Partnership's acquisition
program  has been completed.  No additional investments  are
planned.

The  1718 Connecticut property was sold in fiscal 1996.   In
fiscal  year 1997, the Century Square and Arlington Business
Center properties were sold in April 1997 and October  1997,
respectively. In fiscal year 1998, the Westwood  10,  Carmel
Park  and Harborgate properties were sold in December  1997,
December  1997 and July 1998, respectively.  As a result  of
sales   of  properties  in  fiscal  years  1997  and   1998,
Partnership cash flow from operations decreased  during  the
nine-month period ended July 31, 1998 compared to 1997.

The  Managing  General Partner will market  the  North  Lake
Plaza property for sale during the fourth fiscal quarter  of
1998;  however, there can be no assurance that this property
will be sold.

The  Partnership's liquidity is primarily affected by  sales
of the Partnership's properties; as the properties are sold,
the  Partnership has fewer income-producing investments  and
Partnership  cash from operations decreases. The Partnership
will  also  require  less  cash  reserves  to  fund  capital
expenditures  and  leasing commissions.   Generally,  future
cash  distributions will be paid from proceeds received from
the sale of the North Lake Plaza property and cash reserves.

During  the  nine  months ended July 31, 1998,  all  of  the
Partnership's  remaining properties generated positive  cash
flow  from operations, and it is anticipated that the  North
Lake Plaza property will continue to do so during the period
the Partnership continues to own it.

         DEAN WITTER REALTY INCOME PARTNERSHIP I, L.P.

During  the nine months ended July 31, 1998, the Partnership
incurred  capital  expenditures and leasing  commissions  of
approximately $736,000, primarily for tenant-related capital
expenditures at the Harborgate property.

During   the   nine  months  ended  July   31,   1998,   the
Partnership's    distributions   to   partners    (excluding
distributions  of  sales proceeds) and capital  expenditures
exceeded its cash flow from operations. This deficiency  was
funded from Partnership cash reserves.

The  North Lake Plaza property currently has a vacancy  rate
of  18%;  as a result, the Partnership may incur significant
capital  expenditures and leasing commissions  to  fill  the
vacant space.

The  Managing General Partner believed that the  Partnership
as  of July 31, 1998 would not have sufficient cash reserves
to   fully   fund  its  potential  liability   for   capital
expenditures and leasing commissions at the North Lake Plaza
property    and   other   Partnership   cash   requirements.
Therefore,   in   order  to  increase  cash  reserves,   the
Partnership  withheld  approximately  $1,000,000  from   the
distribution  of  proceeds from the sale of  the  Harborgate
property  and did not pay its second and third quarter  1998
distributions.

Deferred leasing commissions, other assets, accounts payable
and   accrued  liabilities  and  security  deposits  payable
decreased  in 1998 as a result of the above-mentioned  sales
of properties.

On   November   26,   1997,   the  Partnership   distributed
approximately $4,538,000 ($48.91 per Unit), the net proceeds
from  the  sale  of the Arlington Business Center  property.
The distribution was paid 100% to the Limited Partners.

On   December   29,   1997,   the  Partnership   distributed
approximately  $26,065,000  ($280.93  per  Unit),  the   net
proceeds  from the sale of the Carmel Park and  Westwood  10
properties.   The distribution was paid 100% to the  Limited
Partners.

On  July 23, 1998, the Partnership distributed approximately
$7,045,700 ($75.94 per Unit), a portion of the net  proceeds
of $8,046,000 from the sale of the Harborgate property.  The
distribution was paid 100% to the Limited Partners.

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

Operations

Fluctuations in the Partnership's operating results for  the
three-  and nine-month periods ended July 31, 1998  compared
to 1997 were primarily attributable to the following:

During the nine and three months ended July 31, 1998, rental
income,  property  operating expenses and  depreciation  and
amortization expenses decreased as a result of the sales  of
the Arlington Business Center, Westwood 10, Carmel Park, and
Harborgate properties.

The  gains  on sales of real estate in fiscal 1998  resulted
from  the  sales of the Carmel Park, Harborgate and Westwood
10 properties.

There  was no equity in earnings of joint venture income  in
1998.   The Partnership's share of the gain on sale  of  the
Century  Square property included in equity in  earnings  in
1997 was approximately $2.1 million.

Interest  and  other income decreased during  the  nine  and
three  months  ended  July 31, 1998  primarily  because  the
Partnership's  interest earned in 1997 on the proceeds  from
the sale of the Century Square property (until such proceeds
were  distributed  to  Limited Partners)  exceeded  interest
earned in 1998 on the proceeds from the sale of properties.

No  individual factor accounted for a significant change  in
general and administrative expenses from 1997 to 1998.

The North Lake Plaza Shopping Center is located in Altamonte
Springs,   Florida   (which  is  near   Orlando,   Florida).
Currently,  the vacancy rate in this market is approximately
10%,  and  market rental rates are stable. During the  three
months  ended  July  31,  1998, occupancy  at  the  property
increased to 82%.  Development of nearby office projects and
apartment  buildings and the scheduled  expansion  of  North
Lake  Boulevard  (which  borders the  shopping  center)  are
anticipated to increase traffic at the property.  The  lease
for  Home  Depot  (for approximately 50% of  the  property's
space)  expires in 2003.  Home Depot continues to  sub-lease
its  space  to Burlington Coat Factory but remains obligated
to                pay               rent               under

         DEAN WITTER REALTY INCOME PARTNERSHIP I, L.P.

the  lease.  The lease of Marshalls Inc., (for approximately
21% of the space) is scheduled to expire in 2002.

During  the nine months ended July 31, 1998, the North  Lake
property   incurred  rental  revenues,  property   operating
expenses  and  depreciation  and  amortization  expenses  of
approximately    $727,000,    $223,000,    and     $122,000,
respectively.

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.
