Harbor Homes and Dickerson Court were apartment buildings constructed in the 1940s and 1950s and located between Jefferson and Terminal Avenues adjacent to the coal export terminals in Southeast Newport News. The residences were demolished in [years], with City Council subsequently rezoning to land as Light Industrial.

While there is no public record in government documents or statements, many former residents of Harbor Homes and Dickerson Court and in Southeast Newport News maintain the apartments were demolished at least in part because of the adverse impacts of coal dust on health and quality of life.
