I'd say telephone related

Thanks .. I don't understand the 110v wires going to it? It's out of my league!

is it connected to 110/120 or is that what the wire is rated for. also see the above link posted in an edit.

In telephony, the demarcation point is the point at which the public switched telephone network ends and connects with the customer's on-premises wiring.

The wire at the bottom is 14ga, but I haven't really traced it to see where it goes. The top wires look like phone or thermostat wiring. I believe you are 100% correct in your ID, though. Thank you.

This sparky believes that yes it is a demarc box and the single wire that you think is 120 volt is really just the phone company direct buriel phone line, feeding the line side of the demarc.

Where I worked years ago, we had a similar box where there was an outside claxon activated by the telephone.
