         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 the gains on  sale  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.
   
        DEAN WITTER REALTY INCOME PARTNERSHIP I, L.P.

         Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
   
   2.  Real Estate
   
   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  8,  1997, the Partnership sold the  Carmel  Park
   property  to  an  unaffiliated party  for  a  negotiated  sale
   price   of   approximately  $17.7  million.   The  Partnership
   recognized    a   gain   on   this   sale   of   approximately
   $6,264,000,   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  a  negotiated
   sale    price    of   approximately   $9.4    million.     The
   Partnership    recognized   a   gain   on   this    sale    of
   approximately  $3,032,000, which was  allocated  100%  to  the
   Limited   Partners   in   accordance  with   the   Partnership
   Agreement.
   
   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.

   3.     Related Party Transactions
   
   An   affiliate  of  the  Managing  General  Partner   provided
   property    management   services   for   three    and    five
   properties  for  the  three  months  ended  January  31,  1998
   and    1997,   respectively.    The   Partnership   paid   the
   affiliate  management  fees of $23,318  and  $44,652  for  the
   three    months   ended   January   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  three months  ended  January  31,
   1998   and   1997,  the  Partnership  incurred   approximately
   $48,000   and  $66,000,  respectively,  for  these   services.
   These  amounts  are  included  in general  and  administrative
   expenses.
   
        DEAN WITTER REALTY INCOME PARTNERSHIP I, L.P.

         Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
   
   As  of  January  31, 1998, the affiliates were  owed  a  total
   of approximately $16,000 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  the  final  payment
   of   these   distributions   ($1,233,837)   to   the   General
   Partners in the first quarter of 1997.
   
   4.  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,   misrepresentation   and   related
   claims,   and   seek  compensatory  and  other   damages   and
   equitable   relief.  The  defendants  intend   to   vigorously
   defend   against   these  actions.   It   is   impossible   to
   predict  the  effect,  if any, the outcome  of  these  actions
   might have on the Partnership's financial statements.
   
   5.  Subsequent Distribution
   
   On   February   25,  1998,  the  Partnership   paid   a   cash
   distribution  of  $4.53  per Unit.  The  distribution  totaled
   $466,993,   with   $420,293   distributed   to   the   Limited
   Partners and $46,700 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  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.
   The    Century   Square   and   Arlington   Business    Center
   properties  were  sold in fiscal 1997.  The  Carmel  Park  and
   Westwood  10  properties were sold during  the  first  quarter
   of fiscal 1998.
   
   Employment   growth,   especially   in   the   communications,
   technology    and    financial   services   industries,    has
   increased  demand  for  space in many  office  markets.   Such
   increasing  demand  and  a controlled  amount  of  speculative
   construction  has  resulted in falling  vacancies  and  rising
   rents.    Improved   property  performance   along   with   an
   influx  of  capital  from  REITs, pension  funds  and  foreign
   investors   are  increasing  property  values.   Some   office
   markets,  especially  suburban  markets,  are  faring   better
   than   others   and,   in  certain  areas,   improved   market
   conditions  can  support  new  construction.   Recently,   the
   vacancy   rate  in  the  SouthBay  area  of  the  Los  Angeles
   office   market,   the   location  of   Harborgate,   improved
   slightly  to  19%  due  to  tenant influx  caused  by  limited
   leasing  options  in  surrounding  markets.   In  the   retail
   sector,  an  over  supply  of space  and  consolidation  among
   retailers   continued  to  lessen  the   demand   for   retail
   space.     Also,   many   outdated   properties   are    being
   redeveloped   in   order   to  compete   with   newer   retail
   properties.   The  abundance  of available  retail  space  and
   sub-lease  space  offered  by  retailers  (usually  at   lower
   rents)  has  exerted  downward  pressure  on  rents  in   many
   markets.    Although    investment   interest    for    retail
   properties  has  waned  somewhat, REITs continue  to  purchase
   retail  properties  nationwide.  Although  North  Lake   Plaza
   is  located  in  a  strong  retail market  (Altamonte  Springs
   is  near  Orlando, Florida), the property's  vacancy  rate  is
   currently 21%.
   Currently,   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,   Partnership    cash    from
   operations   decreases  and  Partnership  distributions   will
   decline.   During   the  quarter  ended  January   31,   1998,
   Partnership  cash  flow  from  operations  decreased  compared
   to   1997   due  to  the  absence  of  cash  flows  from   the
   Century  Square  ($189,000)  and  Arlington  Business   Center
   ($158,000)   properties  which  were  sold  in  fiscal   1997.
   Partnership  cash  flow  from  operations  also  decreased  in
   1998  compared  to  1997  as  a result  of  the  sale  of  the
   Carmel   Park   and  Westwood  10  buildings  in   1998;   the
   Partnership's  operating  cash  flow  from  the  Carmel   Park
   property   was   approximately  $121,000   and   $324,000   in
   fiscal  1998  and  1997,  respectively,  and  operating   cash
   flow   from   the   Westwood  10  property  was  approximately
   $96,000   and   $203,000  in  1998  and  1997,   respectively.
   Because  of  the  decrease in operating cash  flow  caused  by
   the  above-mentioned  sales,  the  Partnership  decreased  its
   quarterly  cash  distribution from $7.72  per  Unit  to  $4.53
   per   Unit  for  the  first  quarter  distribution   paid   in
   February   1998.  Since  the  Partnership  will   receive   no
   further   operating  cash  flow  from  the   properties   sold
   during  the  first  quarter of fiscal  1998,  the  Partnership
   will  decrease  its  second quarter distribution  to  be  paid
   in  May  1998  to  $2.94 per Unit.  Future  cash  distribution
   levels  will  fluctuate  based  on  cash  flow  generated   by
   the    Partnership's   remaining   properties   and   proceeds
   received from property sales.

   The  Managing  General  Partner  has  engaged  a  real  estate
   broker  to  market  for  sale  the  Harborgate  building,  and
   believes   that,   barring  a  change  in  circumstances,   it
   will  market  the  North Lake Plaza property  for  sale  later
   in  1998.  However,  there  can be no  assurance  that  either
   property will be sold.

   The   Partnership's  liquidity  also  depends  on  cash   flow
   from    operations   of   its   remaining    properties    and
   expenditures    for   building   improvements    and    tenant
   improvements  and  leasing  commissions  in  connection   with
   the  leasing  of  space.   During the  quarter  ended  January
   31,  1998,  all  of  the  Partnership's  properties  generated
   positive    cash   flow   from   operations,   and    it    is
   anticipated   that  the  Partnership's  remaining   properties
   will   continue   to   generate  positive   cash   flow   from
   operations during the remainder of 1998.
   
   During    the   quarter   ended   January   31,   1998,    the
   Partnership's   capital  expenditures  and  distributions   to
   partners   (excluding   distributions   of   sales   proceeds)
   exceeded  its  cash  flow  from operations.   This  deficiency
   was   funded   from  Partnership  cash  reserves   which   the
   Managing   General  Partner  determined  were  in  excess   of
   the Partnership's needs.

   Currently,   the   Partnership   has   commitments   to   fund
   approximately  $587,000  of  capital  expenditures,   relating
   to  the  Harborgate  property.  Since  the  North  Lake  Plaza
   property   currently  has  a  significant  amount  of   vacant
   space,  the  Partnership  may  have  to  incur  a  significant
   amount   of   capital  expenditures  and  leasing  commissions
   to fill such space.
   
   During   the  remainder  of  1998,  the  Partnership   expects
   that  cash  flow  from  operations will  exceed  distributions
   to   Limited  Partners  (other  than  distributions   of   net
   proceeds   from  property  sales);  the  Partnership   expects
   to   fund   a  portion  of  capital  expenditures  from   cash
   reserves.
   
   Other   assets,   deferred   leasing   commissions,   accounts
   payable   and   accrued  liabilities  and  security   deposits
   payable  decreased  significantly as a  result  of  the  sales
   of the Carmel Park and Westwood 10 properties in 1998.
   
   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   February  25,  1998,  the  Partnership  paid  the   first
   quarter    cash    distribution;   the   total    distribution
   aggregated   $466,993  with  $420,293   distributed   to   the
   Limited  Partners  and  $46,700  distributed  to  the  General
   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-month  period ended January 31,  1998  compared  to
   1997 were primarily attributable to the following:
   
   The  Sale  of  the  Arlington  Business  Center  property   in
   October  1997  caused  the  absence of  the  following  income
   and  expense  items  in  1998: rental  revenues  ($333,000  in
   1997),  property  operating expenses ($176,000  in  1997)  and
   depreciation and amortization expenses ($42,000 in 1997).
   
   The  sale  of  the  Carmel Park property on December  8,  1997
   caused  rental  revenues and property  operating  expenses  to
   decrease  in  1998  by  $301,000  and  $90,000,  respectively.
   Since  the  property was classified as real  estate  held  for
   sale  in  1998  prior to the sale, there  was  an  absence  of
   depreciation   and  amortization  expenses   in   1998   (such
   costs totaled $158,000 in 1997).
   
   The  sale  of  the Westwood 10 property on December  23,  1997
   caused  rental  revenues  to  decease  in  1998  by  $114,000;
   the  sale  did  not cause a significant decrease  in  property
   operating  expenses.   Since the property  was  classified  as
   real  estate  held  for  sale  in  1998  prior  to  the  sale,
   there   was   an  absence  of  depreciation  and  amortization
   expenses in 1998 (such costs totaled $76,000 in 1997).
   
   The  sale  of  the  Century  Square  property  in  April  1997
   caused  the  absence of equity in earnings  of  joint  venture
   in 1998.
   
   Interest  and  other  revenues  increased  in  1998   due   to
   interest  earned  on  sales proceeds  of  the  above-mentioned
   properties  held  by  the  Partnership  between  the  date  of
   sale and date of distribution to Limited Partners.

   No  individual  factor  accounted  for  a  significant  change
   in general and administrative expenses from 1997 to 1998.
   
   A   summary   of   the   markets   where   the   Partnership's
   remaining  properties  are  located  and  the  performance  of
   each property is as follows:

   Currently,  the  vacancy  rate in the  office  market  in  the
   SouthBay   area  of  Los  Angeles,  California,  the  location
   of   Harborgate,  is  approximately  19%,  and  market  rental
   rates  are  stable.   During  the quarter  ended  January  31,
   1998,   occupancy   at   the   property   remained   at   59%.
   Subsequent  to  January  31, 1998, the  Partnership  signed  a
   new  ten-year  lease  with  Nippon  Travel  Agency  Inc.,  for
   approximately  26%  of  the  property's  space.  U.S.  Sprint,
   who   leases   approximately  19%  of  the  space,   did   not
   exercise  its  option  to terminate its  lease  on  its  space
   in  1998;  as  a  result,  its  lease  expires  in  2000.   No
   other   significant  amounts  of  space   are   scheduled   to
   expire before 2000.
   
   Altamonte   Springs,  Florida,  the  location  of  the   North
   Lake  Plaza  Shopping  Center,  is  a  strong  retail  market.
   Currently,    the   vacancy   rate   in   this    market    is
   approximately  7%,  and  market  rental  rates   are   stable.
   During   the   first  quarter  of  1998,  occupancy   at   the
   property  remained  at  79%.   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)  expires  in 2003.   Home  Depot  continues
   to   sub-lease  its  space  to  Burlington  Coat  Factory  but
   remains   obligated  to  pay  rent  under  the   lease.    The
   lease  of  Marshalls  Inc.,  (for  approximately  21%  of  the
   space) is scheduled to expire in 2002.

   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.
