     DEAN WITTER REALTY INCOME PARTNERSHIP I, L.P.

      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) is 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  (loss)  per  Unit of  limited  partnership
interest amounts are calculated by dividing net  income
(loss) 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 the  losses
on  impairment  of  certain real estate  in  the  first
quarter  of fiscal 1996, the gain on sale of  the  1718
Connecticut  Avenue property in the  third  quarter  of
1996  and  the  gain on the sale of the Century  Square
property  included  in  equity  in  earnings  of  joint
venture in the second quarter of 1997, 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,
1996.  Operating results of interim periods may not  be
indicative  of  the operating results  for  the  entire
year.

The   Financial  Accounting  Standards   Board   issued
Statement  of  Financial Accounting Standards  No  128,
"Earnings   per   Share"  in   February   1997.    This
pronouncement  establishes standards for computing  and
presenting earnings per share, and is effective for the
Partnership's  1997 year-end financial statements.  The
Partnership's  management  has  determined  that   this
standard  will  have  no impact  on  the  Partnership's
computation or presentation of net income per  unit  of
limited partnership interest.

2.  Real Estate

In  September  1997, the Partnership  entered  into  an
agreement  with  an  unaffiliated  party  to  sell  the
Arlington  Business Center property  for  a  negotiated
sales price of approximately $5.2 million.  The closing
of  the  sale  is expected to occur during  the  fourth
quarter of fiscal 1997.  The net carrying value of  the
property   (approximately  $3.0   million)   has   been
reclassified to real estate held for sale.

3.  Investment in Joint Venture

On  April  10,  1997, the partnership which  owned  the
Century Square office building (which is owned  25%  by
the  Partnership and 75% by Dean Witter  Realty  Income
Partnership  II, L.P., an affiliated partnership)  sold
the  building to an unaffiliated party for $40,800,000,
net  of  closing costs. The Partnership's share of  the
net  sales  proceeds was approximately  $10.2  million;
these   proceeds  were  distributed  100%  to   Limited
Partners  on May 29, 1997.  The Partnership's share  of
the  gain on sale was approximately $2.1 million, which
was   allocated  100%  to  the  Limited   Partners   in
accordance with the Partnership Agreement.

4.  Related Party Transactions

An  affiliate of the Managing General Partner  provided
property   management  services  for   five   and   six
properties for the nine months ended July 31, 1997  and
1996, respectively.  The Partnership paid the affiliate
management fees of approximately $141,000 and  $172,000
for  the  nine  months ended July 31,  1997  and  1996,
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-month periods ended July
31,   1997   and   1996,   the   Partnership   incurred
approximately $181,000 and $209,000 for these services,
respectively.   These amounts are included  in  general
and administrative expenses.

As  of  July 31, 1997, the affiliates were owed a total
of approximately $34,000 for these services.

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  two
payments  of  the  distributions of $1,233,837  to  the
General Partners in September and November 1996.

Prior  to 1990, the Partnership borrowed funds under  a
line  of  credit  from  an affiliate  of  the  Managing
General  Partner.   The  loan, which  had  a  principal
balance  of $4,032,527 and bore interest at  the  prime
rate, was repaid in full in June 1996.

5.  Litigation

Various  public partnerships sponsored by  Dean  Witter
Realty Inc. (including the Partnership and its Managing
General  Partner)  are defendants  in  purported  class
action  lawsuits  pending in state and federal  courts.
The  complaints  allege a number of  claims,  including
breach  of fiduciary duty, fraud and misrepresentation,
and  seek  an  accounting of profits, compensatory  and
other   damages  in  an  unspecified  amount,  possible
liquidation  of  the  Partnership  under  a  receiver's
supervision and other equitable relief.  The defendants
are   vigorously  defending  these  actions.    It   is
impossible  to predict the effect, if any, the  outcome
of  these  actions  might  have  on  the  Partnership's
financial statements.
   
6.  Subsequent Event

On  August  27,  1997,  the  Partnership  paid  a  cash
distribution  of  $7.72  per  Unit.   The  distribution
totaled  $795,847  with  $716,262  distributed  to  the
Limited Partners and $79,585 distributed to the General
Partners.

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 (one of which
was  sold  in  fiscal 1996 and one of  which  is  under
contract  to  be  sold) and made one  investment  in  a
partnership  (the property of which was sold  in  April
1997)   on   an   all-cash  basis.   The  Partnership's
acquisition program has been completed.  No  additional
investments are planned.

The  Century Square office building was sold  on  April
10,  1997.  See  Note  3 to the consolidated  financial
statements.

The  economic expansion continues and has provided  for
a   rebound   in   the  commercial  property   markets.
Employment growth, especially in the business  services
and  technology  industries, has increased  demand  for
office  space.  Such increasing demand and the  limited
amount  of speculative office construction has resulted
in  falling  vacancies,  rising  rents  and  increasing
property  values in many markets.  Some office  markets
are  fairing better than others, and, in certain areas,
improved   market   conditions   have   led   to    new
construction.  Currently, the completion of new  office
construction  in  Charlotte, NC, the  location  of  the
Carmel  Park property, has increased the market vacancy
level  to 9%. Vacancy in the SouthBay area of  the  Los
Angeles office market, the location of Harborgate,  has
stabilized  at  24%  due  to tenant  influx  caused  by
limited   leasing   options  in  surrounding   markets.
Vacancies   at  many  office/research  and  development
properties  are  declining as communications,  computer
and  software  companies demand additional  space.  The
vacancy rate in Arlington Heights, IL, the location  of
Arlington  Business Center, is currently 11%,  and  the
vacancy   rate  for  office/research  and   development
properties  in the Boston market, the location  of  the
Westwood  10  property, improved  slightly  during  the
third  quarter  of  1997.   In  the  retail  sector,  a
changing  tenant  base  (caused by  the  domination  of
certain  power center tenants coupled with bankruptcies
and  major  restructuring of other  tenants)  and  past
overbuilding  have  resulted in  higher  vacancies  and
stagnant  rents  at  many retail properties.   Although
North  Lake Plaza is located in a strong retail  market
(Altamonte  Springs,  Florida which  is  near  Orlando,
Florida), the property's vacancy rate remains at 22%.
   
The  Partnership's liquidity depends on the  cash  flow
from operations of its properties and expenditures  for
building  improvements  and  tenant  improvements   and
leasing  commissions in connection with the leasing  of
vacant  space.  During the three and nine-month periods
ended   July   31,  1997,  all  of  the   Partnership's
properties   generated   positive   cash   flow    from
operations,  and  it  is  anticipated  that  they  will
continue to do so during the remainder of 1997.
   
In  addition, the Partnership's liquidity has been  and
will   continue  to  be  affected  by  sales   of   the
Partnership's  properties; when  properties  are  sold,
the  Partnership's cash from operations  available  for
distribution  decreases.  During the three-  and  nine-
month  periods  ended July 31, 1997,  Partnership  cash
flow  from  operations decreased compared  to  1996  by
approximately  $80,000 and $430,000, respectively,  due
to  the absence of cash flows from the 1718 Connecticut
Avenue  property subsequent to its sale in  June  1996.
Also, Partnership cash flow will be reduced during  the
remainder  of  1997 and thereafter as a result  of  the
sale  of the Century Square building; the Partnership's
operating  cash  flow  from the  Century  Square  joint
venture was approximately $977,000 in fiscal year  1996
and  $440,000  from November 1, 1996  until  April  10,
1997,  the  date  of  the sale.  Because  of  decreased
operating  cash  flow,  the Partnership  decreased  its
quarterly  cash  distribution from $8.95  per  Unit  to
$7.72  per  Unit  (a  4%  rate on  the  gross  offering
proceeds  attributable  to the Partnership's  remaining
investments)   beginning   with   the   third   quarter
distribution paid in August 1997.
   
The  Managing General Partner has engaged  real  estate
brokers  to  market  for  sale the  Arlington  Business
Center,  Carmel  Park and Westwood 10  properties,  and
believes  that,  barring a change in circumstances,  it
will   market  the  Harborgate  and  North  Lake  Plaza
properties  for  sale  in fiscal year  1998.   However,
there  can be no assurance that all properties will  be
sold.

In  September,  1997 the Partnership  entered  into  an
agreement  to  sell the Arlington Business  Center  for
$5.2  million.  The Partnership's cash flow  from  this
property  was  approximately  $528,000  in  1996,   and
$132,000  and  $424,000 for the three-  and  nine-month
periods ended July 31, 1997, respectively.

During  the  nine  months  ended  July  31,  1997,  the
Partnership incurred capital expenditures of  $248,000,
primarily  in connection with the leasing of  space  at
the Carmel Park buildings ($161,000).
   
During  the  nine  months  ended  July  31,  1997,  the
Partnership's    cash   flow   from   operations    and
distributions  received from operations  of  its  joint
venture    approximated   capital   expenditures    and
distributions  to partners (excluding  distribution  of
sales  proceeds from the joint venture).   In  November
1996,  the  Partnership paid the deferred  distribution
to the General Partners from cash reserves.
   
As  of  July  31, 1997, the Partnership has commitments
to    fund    approximately   $221,000    of    capital
expenditures,  primarily relating to  the  Westwood  10
building ($121,000).
   
During  the remainder of 1997, the Partnership  expects
that   its  cash  flow  from  operations  will   exceed
distributions    to   its   investors    (other    than
distributions  of  net proceeds from  property  sales);
the  Partnership  expects to fund a portion  of  future
capital expenditures from cash reserves.

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.
   
On  August  27,  1997, the Partnership paid  the  third
quarter  cash  distribution of  $7.72  per  Unit.   The
total  distribution aggregated $795,847  with  $716,262
distributed   to  the  Limited  Partners  and   $79,585
distributed to the General Partners.
   
Operations

Fluctuations  in  the Partnership's  operating  results
for  the  three- and nine-month periods ended July  31,
1997  compared  to 1996 were primarily attributable  to
the following:
   
Rental   revenues   and  property  operating   expenses
decreased in the three- and nine-month periods in  1997
primarily because of the absence of revenues and  costs
from  the  1718 Connecticut Avenue property, which  was
sold in June 1996.

The  gain on sale of real estate resulted from the sale
of the 1718 Connecticut Avenue property.

Equity  in earnings of joint venture increased  in  the
nine-month  period ended July 31, 1997 as a  result  of
the  Partnership's share of the gain from the  sale  of
the   Century  Square  office  building.  Because   the
property  was sold in April 1997, there were  no  third
quarter  1997  earnings from the  joint  venture.   See
Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements.

Depreciation  and  amortization  decreased  during  the
nine  months  ended  July  31,  1997  by  approximately
$215,000  because of the impairment writedown  for  the
Westwood   10,   Northlake  Plaza   and   Carmel   Park
properties recorded at the end of the first quarter  of
1996.  Depreciation and amortization also decreased  by
approximately $154,000 in the nine-month  period  ended
July  31, 1997, due to the sale of the 1718 Connecticut
Avenue  property.   No  other individually  significant
factors account for the remaining decrease.

In  1997, the Partnership incurred no interest  expense
because  it  repaid  its loan from  affiliate  in  June
1996.

In  the  first quarter of fiscal 1996, the  Partnership
recorded losses on impairment of the Westwood 10,  1718
Connecticut,   North  Lake  Plaza   and   Carmel   Park
properties totaling $8,510,000.

No   individual  factor  accounted  for  a  significant
change in interest and other revenues.

A  summary  of  the  office, retail  and  research  and
development  building markets where  the  Partnership's
properties  are  located and the  performance  of  each
property is as follows:

In  1997, the vacancy rate in the office market in  the
SouthBay  area of Los Angeles, California, the location
of  Harborgate, has  stabilized  at approximately  24%.
Market rental rates have also stabilized.   There is  a
limited  number  of  tenants  seeking  space  in   this
market. During the third quarter of 1997, occupancy  at
the  property decreased from 63% to 59%.  The lease for
U.S.  Sprint  (for approximately 19% of the  property's
space)  expires in 2000; however, U.S.  Sprint  has  an
option  to terminate its lease on this space  in  1998.
No  other  significant leases are scheduled  to  expire
before 2000.

Arlington  Business Center, a research and  development
building,  is  located in Arlington Heights,  Illinois.
The  vacancy  in this market is approximately  11%  and
market  rental rates have increased slightly  in  1997.
During  the  third  quarter of 1997, occupancy  at  the
property  remained  at 100%.  Leases for  approximately
16%  and  35% of the property's space are scheduled  to
expire  in  1998 and 1999, respectively.  In  September
1997,  the  Partnership agreed to sell  this  property.
See note 2 to the consolidated financial statements.

In  1997,  the vacancy in the research and  development
building   market   in  Westwood,  Massachusetts,   the
location  of  the  Westwood 10 building,  has  improved
slightly,   and  rental  rates  in  this  market   have
increased.    During  the  third   quarter   of   1997,
occupancy  at  the  property  remained  at  100%.   The
Partnership  renewed  for  five  years  a   lease   for
approximately 18% of the property's space which was  to
expire  in April 1997. No other significant leases  are
scheduled  to  expire before 2000.  The Partnership  is
marketing this property to prospective buyers.

During  the third quarter of 1997, the vacancy rate  in
the   Charlotte,  North  Carolina  office  market,  the
location  of  the Carmel Park property, increased  from
2%  to 9% due to the completion of new construction  in
this market.  However, market rental rates continue  to
increase.   The  Partnership  expects  construction  to
continue  in this market.  During the third quarter  of
1997, occupancy at the property decreased from 100%  to
97%.  The Partnership has renewed its lease with  Cigna
for  approximately 33% of the property's space  through
May  2002.   No other significant leases are  scheduled
to  expire  before 2000.  The Partnership is  marketing
this property to prospective buyers.

Altamonte  Springs, Florida, the location of the  North
Lake  Plaza Shopping Center, is a strong retail market.
However,  during the third quarter of 1997, vacancy  in
this  market  increased slightly to 7% because  of  the
bankrupticies of certain tenants.  Market rental  rates
continue  to  be stable.  During the third  quarter  of
1997,  occupancy  at  the  property  remained  at  78%.
Development   of   nearby  office  projects   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)
which  was scheduled to expire in 1998 has been renewed
for  a  five-year period.  Home Depot will continue  to
sub-lease its  space to Burlington Coat Factory  during
the  new  lease term.  Home Depot will remain obligated
to  pay rent under the new lease.  No other significant
leases  are scheduled to expire before 2002.  Marshalls
Inc.,  another anchor tenant, has completed  remodeling
its store at 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.
