This sounds like a question for the phone company. That box is their property I'm pretty sure. They own everything up to that box, you own everything from that box in your home.

ETA: and while a phone line doesn't carry a heavy load, it can carry a current, just FYI.

It's probably illegal to not have a telephone hook up on your house. I know you have to have water and electricity. Fascists I tell you.

ETA: Why would you paint over that awesome brick?

looks like the tuckpoiniting is recent

but painting brick is not popular

I could see polyeurethane to seal it from moisture...but I never asked anyone.

did you bother to inquire with commercial masons as to proper care of brick? and their thoughts on painting brick!!!

You should use acrylic instead on that brick.

That is the incorrect paint.

Just put the telephone interface back on the wall and paint it (and all that other stuff as well) the same color you are painting the brick.
