Houses around the province today have all the colours of the rainbow, but not years ago.Heritage NL has developed a palette of traditional colours for people who'd like a more old-fashioned look
Just about every craft shop in the province sells merchandise featuring the multi-coloured row houses...or Jellybean Row, as it's called...of downtown St.John's. But those fun, bright colours are a fairly new addition to the old city.

Andrea O'Brien is an outreach coordinator with Heritage NL, and she spoke with the CBC's Leigh Anne Power.
