The Green Parrot was a Decorah landmark, a major gathering place for people of all generations. The above photo (ca. 2021) of what was for many years called the “Pub” and was later called “Roscoe’s” suggests that the original building–shown below–existed underneath the later painted wooden overlay. The building was demolished in 2023 in preparation for a new Kwik Star gas station. For the restaurant’s complete history, see the Decorah Genealogy Association Newsletter (April-June 2023, pp. 4-5). The original building was aluminum and perhaps stucco.
