Electrical box painted by Gary Koeppel in West Roxbury on the intersection of Centre Street and Corey Street. The painting covers the entirety of the electrical box, displaying a landscape. A grassy marsh extends up from the bottom of the box. A pond, grass and trees cover the bottom half of the box with a cloudy blue sky across the top half. Written on the corner of the utility box, it reads, "City of Boston: Mayor Thomas M. Menino."

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.
