Allen Street - Tombstone AZ.
Allen Street was named for John B. Allen (John Brackett “Pie” Allen).

John Brackett "Pie" Allen (October 22, 1818 – June 13, 1899) was an American prospector, businessman, and politician. Unsuccessful in his efforts as a prospector, he earned his nickname baking pies for settlers and soldiers in Arizona Territory. His business success made him a prominent territorial citizen and he served three terms in the Arizona Territorial Legislature, two terms as Mayor of Tucson, Arizona Territory, and was appointed Arizona Territorial Treasurer for six years.

John B. Allen was rechristened "Pie" Allen based on his successful Tucson-area based pie business. He came to Arizona in 1857, attempting to make a fortune in gold in Yuma. He eventually came to Tucson and sold dried apple pies to the rough characters of the western town. With his proceeds, he later purchased a large ranch and alfalfa farm in Maricopa Wells and built a fine store in Tombstone. As his fame and fortune grew, he was elected to the Territorial Legislature and as Territorial Treasurer from 1867 to 1872 he balanced the books. As Adjutant General, he became known as "General Pie." He filled two terms as Mayor of Tucson. He was also known for his building projects and concern for forward looking projects.

In 1899, Pie was dying of cancer and many citizens of Tucson hosted a honorary dinner for him. After dinner and pie, Pie was presented with a gift purchased by Zeckendorf and Company. It was understood that the man who had lived in the rough frontier would recognize his fate -- the gift was his already engraved tombstone and it was received well. He died within the month and was buried in a Tucson cemetery. When the city changed its laws and ordered the removal of bodies from cemeteries within the city limits, Pie's remains were not claimed by family members, nor was he buried in one of the fraternal sections. Pie was apparently not moved at all. Tucson archaeologist Homer Thiel says that only his sunken headstone was moved to county sections at the rear of Evergreen Cemetery along with the rest of the unclaimed.

We stayed in The Gold Room (Room 6) for 3 nights the beginning of June 2026. Our stay was perfect!! The location was easy walking distance to anywhere in Tombstone. It is nice to leave the car parked and walk where we wanted to go. The room was roomy, clean and quiet. The bed was very comfy. The room decorations added to the western atmosphere; but there were modern amenities such as air conditioning. The AC worked great. We really enjoyed the outdoor patio just outside our room. Very relaxing to sit and read. The complimentary breakfast at The Longhorn was a very nice touch!! We will definitely stay again on our next trip!

I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The convenience of the location was perfect. Beyond that, the accommodations were even better than expected. What impressed me the most was the quality of care and customer service we experienced. 20 out of 10 stars as far as I am concerned.
