Joel E. Harrell and Son is a historic pork processing factory complex located at Suffolk, Virginia. It was built in 1941, and consists of the Office Building and the Main Building. The Office Building is a one-story, seven bay by six bay, brick building. The Main Building was constructed to house all phases of the production process, including the slaughterhouse, curing rooms, and coolers. It is a one-story, brick building enlarged in 1946, 1955, and the 1970s. The Main Building was damaged by fire in 2005. The complex is representative of a small family-based pork processing facility.[3]

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2006.[1]
