The family of Allen Morgan Street moved to Oklahoma City from Mexia, Texas in 1891. His father, Dr. Joseph G. Street, served for a time as a City official.  After attending Vanderbilt University for two years, Street returned to Oklahoma City in 1907 and entered the funeral-home business. 
Street helped organize the Boy Scouts in Oklahoma City in 1910 and donated a downtown building as a headquarters for the group. Street ran for Mayor in 1923 but was defeated by O.A. Cargill. He then served five terms in the Oklahoma House of Representatives and as Speaker of the House in 1928. Street served on the City Council for four years prior to his election as Mayor in 1947. 
The population of Oklahoma City grew tremendously at this time, and Mayor Street and the Council succeeded in passing $68.6 million in bond issues during his time in office. A 1950 bond issue allowed the City to develop a new fairground at NW 10th and May Avenue. In 1955, another bond issue funded construction of Lake Atoka in southeastern Oklahoma to provide an additional water supply for the City.  Also, the City was selected as the site for the National Cowboy Hall of Fame, now known as the National Cowboy Hall of Fame and Western Heritage Museum. 
Mayor Street was the first City Mayor elected to three consecutive terms, and he maintained a positive working relationship with the Council and other City officials. He chose not to run for a fourth term and quietly retired from public life. Humble until the end, The Myriad Convention Center, now known as Cox Convention Center, was dedicated as a posthumous memorial to Street and officially titled the Allen M. Street Myriad Convention Center.
