Painted electrical box created by Peter O. Zierlein in 2013. Located in Roslindale at the intersection of Washington St. and Beech St., the painting is part of the PaintBox Boston program which is privately funded through corporate donations as an urban revitalization project. The utility box sits on the sidewalk and is painted with a base of bright blue. Grey, stick like figures branch out from the bottom of the box to the top with other white and navy blue abstract shapes scattered throughout.

Notes:
These photos were taken by photographers employed by the Boston Public Library during the summer of 2020, as a project to document public spaces in several Boston neighborhoods during the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic. The photos depict murals, sculptures, commemorative plaques, painted electrical boxes, and other works of public art in Roxbury, Dorchester, the South End, and surrounding areas. The collection was donated to Northeastern University by the Boston Public Library, as part of the partnership between the institutions through the Boston Research Center.
