Oak Haven, the home place of Mary Hannah Munnerlyn and Isaac Buckingham English.  This home was built after the original 1875 home place burned in 1892.  Mary Munnerlyn English Solomon, who was a child when the house burned, told of how the furnishings were taken from the burning house and sheltered under the limbs of one of the large oaks on the property, which suggested the name "Oak Haven."  The family lived in the carriage house, which they had papered with the "cotton paper" from I.B. English's cotton warehouse, for the year it took to build the brick Victorian structure.  All of the English daughters, Carolie, Raymond, and Mary, were married in this home.  The house was razed in 1965.
