                                  Schedule 13D

         This  Amendment  No. 9 to Schedule 13D amends the Schedule  13D,  filed
July 24, 1993, as previously amended (the "Schedule 13D"), by the Hallwood Group
Incorporated, a Delaware corporation ("Hallwood") and is being filed pursuant to
Rule  13d-2 of the  General  Rules  and  Regulations  under the  Securities  and
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  Unless otherwise  indicated,  all capitalized
terms used but not defined  herein have the  meanings  ascribed to such terms in
the  Schedule  13D.  "No  material  changes"  means no  material  changes to the
response contained in Hallwood's Schedule 13D previously filed.

Item 1.  Security and Issuer.

                  No material changes.

Item 2.  Identity and Background.

                  No material changes.

Item 3.  Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

                  Not applicable.

Item 4.  Purpose of Transaction.

                  On April 16, 2004,  HRPT  Properties  Trust,  a Maryland  real
                  estate investment trust ("Parent"),  HWP LP Acquisition LLC, a
                  Delaware limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary
                  of Parent ("Merger Sub"),  Hallwood Realty  Partners,  L.P., a
                  Delaware limited  partnership (the "Partnership") and Hallwood
                  Realty,  LLC, a Delaware  limited  liability  company  and the
                  general  partner of the  Partnership  (the "General  Partner")
                  entered  into an  Agreement  and Plan of Merger  (the  "Merger
                  Agreement"),  pursuant to which the Partnership will,  subject
                  to the terms and  conditions  of the Merger  Agreement,  merge
                  with and into Merger Sub (the "Merger"),  with the Partnership
                  becoming a wholly-owned  subsidiary of Parent. Hallwood is the
                  sole owner of HWG, LLC ("HWG,  LLC"), which owns 330,432 units
                  of limited partner interest in the Partnership (the "Units").

                  In connection  with the Merger  Agreement,  Hallwood  and  its
                  real estate  subsidiaries  entered  into a purchase  agreement
                  (the  "Purchase  Agreement"),  pursuant to which,  among other
                  things,  HWG, LLC will,  subject to certain  events,  sell the
                  Units to a  wholly-owned  subsidiary  of Parent.  HWG, LLC has
                  granted  Parent a proxy to vote the 330,432  Units in favor of
                  the Merger Agreement and the Merger. Hallwood will continue to
                  have sole dispositive power over the 330,432 Units.

                  Other than as set forth above, Hallwood has not formulated any
                  plans or  proposals  of the type  referred to in clauses (a) -
                  (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

Item 5.  Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

                  As of the date of this filing, Hallwood, through HWG, LLC owns
                  330,432  Units,   representing   approximately  20.7%  of  the
                  outstanding Units.  Pursuant to the Purchase  Agreement,  HWG,
                  LLC granted an  irrevocable  proxy to Parent for voting  power
                  over the 330,432 Units, and therefore, Parent and Hallwood are
                  deemed to have shared voting power with respect to such Units.
