                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                         September 30, 1994 (Unaudited)


NOTE D:  LINE OF CREDIT PAYABLE
On June 1, 1994 WRIT obtained an unsecured interim credit commitment from a
bank in the amount of $20,000,000 for the express purpose of purchasing income
producing property.  On June 1, 1994, WRIT borrowed $9,000,000 on this credit
facility for the acquisition of Tycon Plaza and on June 30, 1994, WRIT borrowed
an additional $9,000,000 for the purchase of The Shoppes of Foxchase.  Interest
only was payable monthly on the unpaid principal balance at the rate of libor
plus 1.10%.  At June 30, 1994 this rate was approximately 5.7%.  On August 26,
1994, the $20,000,000 interim credit commitment was replaced with an unsecured
credit commitment of $25,000,000 and the outstanding advances of $18,000,000
were transferred to this new commitment.  Borrowings of $18,000,000 as of
September 30, 1994 bear interest at the rate of 6.3125% until May 25, 1995.
Interest only is payable monthly, in arrears, on the unpaid principal balance.
All unpaid interest and principal are due August 25, 1995 and can be prepaid
prior to this date without a fee.  Any new advances shall bear interest at
libor plus a spread based on WRIT's interest coverage ratio.

This credit agreement provides the option to WRIT to convert any advances or
portion thereof, into a term loan at any time after February 26, 1995 and prior
to August 25, 1995.  The principal amount of each term loan, if any, shall be
repaid on August 26, 1998.  Such term loan(s) may be prepaid subject to a
prepayment fee.

The $25,000,000 credit commitment requires WRIT to pay the lender an unused
commitment fee at the rate of 0.25% per annum, on the amount that the
$25,000,000 exceeds the balance of outstanding advances and term loans.  This
fee is payable monthly beginning September, 1994 until August 25, 1995.  This
commitment also contains certain covenants which WRIT is required to meet
periodically.

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
WRIT's fundamental emphasis is on long-term growth of cash flow from operating
activities.  Dividends to shareholders are based upon these cash flows.  WRIT's
capital improvement program, strong leasing and management, and acquisitions of
additional properties are the major contributors to the sustained growth of
cash flows.

Occupancy rates have a major impact on rental revenue.  Other factors such as
new or renewal leases at higher rates, CPI based annual rent increases,
increases in rentable space, tenant sales, new property acquisitions and
certain other capital expenditures also influence rental revenue.

Income from real estate in the third quarter of 1994 of $6,876,745 increased
16% compared with $5,936,905 for the third quarter of 1993.  Income from real
estate for the nine months ended September 30, 1994 of $20,499,243 increased
15% compared to $17,864,782 for the same nine month period in 1993. This
increase is primarily attributable to the Heritage Business Park acquired in
November, 1993, the Tycon Plaza office buildings acquired June 1, 1994 and the
Shoppes of Foxchase acquired June 30, 1994.  

Income before gain on sale of real estate for the three months ended September
30, 1994 in the amount of $5,846,949 or $.21 per share increased 5.6% from
$5,535,365 or $.20 per share from the comparable quarter of 1993.  Income
before gain on sale of real estate for the nine months ended September 30, 1994
of $17,479,692 or $.62 per share increased 3.5% as compared to $16,887,125 or
$.60 per share for the same period in 1993.

Average occupancy levels declined slightly in the third quarter of 1994 to 94%
as compared to 96% for the same quarter of 1993.  This is due primarily to
vacancies at one of WRIT's office buildings, 1901 Pennsylvania Avenue and one
shopping center, Jenifer One Mall.  Vacancies at 1901 Pennsylvania Avenue are
expected to continue through the fourth quarter of 1994 and into 1995.
Vacancies at Jenifer One Mall will continue until May, 1995.  WRIT has signed a
lease with a national retail discount chain for a majority of the Jenifer One
vacancy.  This lease commences May, 1995.  The average occupancy of 95% for the
year 1993 remained at 95% for the first nine months of 1994.  This is compared
to 94% for the first nine months of 1993.

Real estate operating expenses as a percentage of revenue was 33% for the three
months ended September 30, 1994 and 31% for the nine months ended September 30,
1994 as compared to 31% and 30% respectively, for the comparable periods of
1993.  This increase is primarily attributable to the fact that  operating
expenses as a percentage of revenues are higher for office building properties
than shopping centers, business centers and the WRIT portfolio as a whole.
WRIT's percentage of office buildings within its entire real estate portfolio
has increased from 36% at September 30, 1993 to 43% of the portfolio  as of
September 30, 1994.  This 7% increase is primarily attributable to the
acquisition of Heritage Business Park (three office buildings) in November,
1993 and Tycon II and III office buildings in June, 1994.

At March 31, 1994, a marketable investment security was written down to its
estimated realizable value, resulting in a charge of $799,571 to operations in
the first quarter of 1994.  This security was sold in May, 1994 for its March
31, 1994 net realizable value.

Interest income decreased in the first nine months of 1994 due to fewer
marketable investment securities as compared to the first nine months of 1993. 
Marketable investment securities have decreased as a result of sales and
maturities used to acquire properties.

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


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS(continued)
Interest expense was $41,506 for the second quarter of 1994 as a result of the
$9,000,000 borrowing on the credit commitment on June 1, 1994 for the
acquisition of Tycon Plaza.  Interest expense of $277,809 for the third quarter
of 1994 was paid on the $18,000,000 of outstanding advances on the credit
commitment for the entire third quarter of 1994 (See note D). Interest expense
for the first nine months of 1993 was $61,462.  This was a result of WRIT's
prepayment of its only remaining mortgage in April, 1993.

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY
In recent years, WRIT has utilized equity stock offerings, cash flow from
operations and a line of credit for its capital needs.  The WRIT philosophy has
been to acquire real estate with strong growth potential and to improve its
real estate holdings through carefully planned additions or enhancements to
generate higher rental income, to reduce operating expenses or both.  Capital
improvements of $4,189,043 were completed in the first nine months of 1994,
including tenant improvements and continuing enhancements.

In February 1994, WRIT purchased land adjacent to its Wheaton Park shopping
center for a total cost of $173,000.  WRIT plans to add additional retail and
parking space to the center.  On June 1, 1994 WRIT acquired Tycon Plaza in
Vienna, Virginia at a contract purchase price of  $21,250,000.  Tycon Plaza
consists of two (2) office buildings containing approximately 293,000 rentable
square feet.  WRIT borrowed $9,000,000 and invested $12,800,000 of its own
funds for the purchase.  On June 30, 1994 WRIT acquired The Shoppes of Foxchase
in Alexandria, Virginia at a contract purchase price of $8,800,000.  The center
has 123,000 rentable square feet.  WRIT borrowed $9,000,000 for this
acquisition.

After the acquisition of Tycon Plaza in June, 1994 and capital improvements in
the third quarter of 1994, the remainder of cash and marketable investment
securities was approximately $2,969,294 at September 30, 1994.

Management believes that it has the liquidity and the capital resources
necessary to meet all of its known obligations and to make additional property
acquisitions when appropriate.  WRIT continues to pursue acquisition
opportunities and capital improvement projects to enhance long-term growth.
