An electrical junction box is specifically designed for mounting within cylindrical concrete piers and other curved structures commonly employed for supporting light poles and other mechanisms wherein the front wall portion of the junction box including the face plate member associated therewith for controlling access to the interior portion of the junction box are both shaped and configured to conform to the specific curvature associated with the outer surface of the curved structure into which the present junction box will be mounted. This construction allows the present junction box to be completely embedded within the curved structure thereby enabling the exposed front wall portion thereof including the face plate member to lie substantially flush with the curved structure\s exterior surface. Although a generally truncated cylindrical wedge shape junction box wall configuration is generally preferred for most applications, it is recognized that other wall configurations will likewise work equally as well so long as the front portion of the present junction box is so shaped and curved so as to be compatible with the curvature of the outer surface of the particular curved structure into which it will be encased. The present construction allows more convenient access to the interior portion of the junction box and provides a more weatherproof and tamperproof junction box as compared to the known square or rectangularly shaped junction boxes which are often times used in curved structure applications.
